Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant global public health threat. Despite the long-standing use of para-aminosalicylic acid (PAS) as a second-line anti-TB drug, its resistance mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we isolated 90 mutants of PAS-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) H37Ra in 7H11 solid medium and performed whole-genome sequencing, gene overexpression, transcription level comparison and amino...
