Predicting nitroimidazole antibiotic resistance mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis with protein engineering.
Our inability to predict which mutations could result in antibiotic resistance has made it difficult to rapidly identify the emergence of resistance, identify pre-existing resistant populations, and manage our use of antibiotics to effectively treat patients and prevent or slow the spread of resista...
