Mutation patterns of resistance genes for macrolides, aminoglycosides, and rifampicin in non-tuberculous mycobacteria isolates from Kenya [version 5; peer review: 2 approved, 1 not approved]

Mutation patterns of resistance genes for macrolides, aminoglycosides, and rifampicin in non-tuberculous mycobacteria isolates from Kenya [version 5; peer review: 2 approved, 1 not approved]

Background: Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) treatment constitutes a macrolide-based antibiotic regimen in combination with aminoglycosides for Rapid-Growing Mycobacteria (RGM), and rifampicin for Slow-Growing Mycobacteria (SGM). Mutations in the anti-NTM drug target regions promote NTM evolution...
