Application of Computational Methods in Understanding Mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Drug Resistance
The emergence of drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) impedes the End TB Strategy by the World Health Organization aiming for zero deaths, disease, and suffering at the hands of tuberculosis (TB). Mutations within anti-TB drug targets play a major role in conferring drug resist...
