Abstract excerpt
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health challenge, exacerbated by the rise of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) strains that undermine first-line therapies. Resistance to pyrazinamide (PZA), an essential anti-TB drug, is often linked to mutations in the pncA gene and efflux pump genes such as Rv1258c. The Rv1258c efflux pump not only expels antibiotics, reducing intracellular drug...
