Hierarchy and interconnected networks in the WhiB7 mediated transcriptional response to antibiotic stress in Mycobacterium abscessus
6 Dec 2023
Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium abscessus is intrinsically resistant to antibiotics effective against other pathogenic mycobacteria largely due to the drug-induced expression of genes that confer resistance. WhiB7 is a major hub controlling the induction of resistance to ribosome-targeting antibiotics. It activates the expression of >100 genes, 7 of which are known determinants of drug resistance; the function of most genes within...
