Abstract excerpt
Delamanid (DLM) and pretomanid (PTM) are recent additions to the anti-tuberculosis (TB) drug armamentarium, and they offer more effective options for drug-resistant TB treatment. In particular, DLM is included in Group C, which is recommended for use in longer multidrug-resistant (MDR)-TB regimens. Previous studies have shown that resistance to DLM/PTM is caused by mutations in the ddn, fgd1, fbiA, fbiB, fbiC,...
