Site-directed mutagenesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and functional validation to investigate potential bedaquiline resistance-causing mutations

Abstract Molecular detection of bedaquiline resistant tuberculosis is challenging as only a small proportion of mutations in candidate bedaquiline resistance genes have been statistically associated with phenotypic resistance. We introduced two mutations, atpE Ile66Val and Rv0678 Thr33Ala, in the My...
