Abstract excerpt
Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is a major global health concern. Newer agents, including bedaquiline (BDQ), delamanid (DLM), pretomanid (PMD), and linezolid (LZD), are essential for treatment; however, the resistance mechanisms of these drugs remain poorly understood in South Korea. This study aimed to investigate correlations between phenotypic and genotypic resistance to these drugs using 49 clinical...
