Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection remains a serious global public health threat due to its inherent and acquired resistance to clinical drugs. Meanwhile, the genomic sequences of many clinical isolates are informative to find novel drugs. Most drug-resistant mutations are clustered in the antibiotics-binding region of the targets, reducing affinity with antibiotics and diminishing the efficacy of...
