Abstract excerpt
Bedaquiline (BDQ) has only been approved for use for just over a decade and is a key drug for treating multidrug-resistant tuberculosis; however, rising levels of resistance threaten to reduce its effectiveness. Catalogues of mutations associated with resistance to BDQ are key to detecting resistance genetically for either diagnosis or surveillance. At present, building catalogues requires considerable expert...
