Abstract excerpt
AIMS: We aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the survival of Mycobacterium abscessus when faced with antibiotic combination therapy. By conducting evolution experiments and whole-genome sequencing (WGS), we sought to identify genetic variants associated with stress response mechanisms, with a particular focus on drug survival and resistance. METHODS AND RESULTS: We conducted evolution...
