Identification of novel mutations associated with bedaquiline resistance in Mycobacterium marinum

As infections caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are rapidly increasing globally, a need exists for developing novel antibiotics and discovering the mechanism of resistance. New research reported in Zoonoses is aimed at understanding the mechanism of bedaquiline resistance in the model NTM species Mycobacterium marinum (M. marinum).
