HIV coinfection is associated with low fitness <i>rpoB</i> variants in rifampicin-resistant <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>
2020-07-22
Abstract excerpt
We analysed 312 drug-resistant genomes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) collected from HIV coinfected and HIV negative TB patients from nine countries with a high tuberculosis burden. We found that rifampicin-resistant Mtb strains isolated from HIV coinfected patients carried disproportionally more resistance-conferring mutations in rpoB that are associated with a low fitness in the absence of the drug, sugg...
