Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The antibiotic bedaquiline is a key component of new WHO regimens for drug-resistant tuberculosis; however, predicting bedaquiline resistance from bacterial genotypes remains challenging. We aimed to understand the genetic mechanisms of bedaquiline resistance by analysing Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from South Africa. METHODS: For this genomic analysis, we conducted whole-genome sequencing of...
