Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Resistance to bedaquiline - a novel, promising medication against tuberculosis (TB), is already emerging, and uncertainties regarding the role of the different resistance-conferring mutations complicate the development of molecular diagnostic tools for detecting resistance. Mutations in the three genes atpE, pepQ, and Rv0678 have been associated with increased minimum inhibitory concentrations...
