Abstract excerpt
Tigecycline is an important rescue antibiotic for many bacterial infections. In Mycobacteroides abscessus, tigecycline resistance has been associated with dysregulated stress response caused by aberrations in the interaction of the SigH and RshA factors. In this study, two tigecycline-resistant mutants of M. abscessus (CL5A and CL6A) with mutations in the rshA gene were studied using gene complementation, RT-qPCR...
