The TetR Family Transcription Factor MAB_2299c Regulates the Expression of Two Distinct MmpS-MmpL Efflux Pumps Involved in Cross-Resistance to Clofazimine and Bedaquiline in Mycobacterium abscessus

Abstract excerpt

Mycobacterium abscessus is a human pathogen responsible for severe respiratory infections, particularly in patients with underlying lung disorders. Notorious for being highly resistant to most antimicrobials, new therapeutic approaches are needed to successfully treat M. abscessus -infected patients. Clofazimine (CFZ) and bedaquiline (BDQ) are two antibiotics used for the treatment of multidrug-resistant...
