Host oxidative stress primes mycobacteria for rapid antibiotic resistance evolution
2025-12-04
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p> The rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant <italic>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</italic> (Mtb) threatens global TB control, yet the mechanisms enabling rapid evolution of drug resistance in Mtb remain poorly understood. Here we reveal that pre-existing mutations in oxidative stress response genes create permissive genomic backgrounds that accelerate high-level isoniazid resistance (IN...
