The impact of drug resistance on Mycobacterium tuberculosis physiology: what can we learn from rifampicin?
The emergence of drug-resistant pathogens poses a major threat to public health. Although influenced by multiple factors, high-level resistance is often associated with mutations in target-encoding or related genes. The fitness cost of these mutations is, in turn, a key determinant of the spread of...
