Abstract excerpt
Type II toxin-antitoxin systems such as mazEF3, vapBC3, and relJK play a role in antibiotic resistance and tolerance. Among the different known TA systems, mazEF3, vapBC3, and relJK, which are type II systems, have specific roles in drug resistance. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the mutations in these genes in sensitive and resistant isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Thirty-two...
