Abstract excerpt
Clinical resistance against bedaquiline (BDQ) remains intractable to anti-tuberculosis therapies since its introduction to the market over a decade ago. Herein, we investigated the structural and mechanical aspects of BDQ resistance in AtpE, MmpR5, and PepQ. The known target-specific resistant single non-synonymous mutations were refined to high-grade candidates. Thus, 7 (AtpE), 5 (MmpR5), and 1 (PepQ) single...
