Bacterial Genome-Wide Association Identifies Novel Factors That Contribute to Ethionamide and Prothionamide Susceptibility in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
22 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic antibiotic susceptibility testing in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is slow and cumbersome. Rapid molecular diagnostics promise to help guide therapy, but such assays rely on complete knowledge of the molecular determinants of altered antibiotic susceptibility. Recent genomic studies of antibiotic-resistant M. tuberculosis have identified several candidate loci beyond those already known to contribute to...
