Tuberculosis, caused by the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is a serious infectious disease worldwide. Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) remains a global problem, and the understanding of this resistance is incomplete. Studies suggested that DNA methylation promotes bacterial adaptability to antibiotic treatment, but the role of mycobacterial HsdM in drug susceptibility has not been explored. Here, we...
