Acquired Resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to Bedaquiline

TL;DR: It is reported that non-target based resistance to BDQ, and cross-resistance to clofazimine (CFZ), is due to mutations in Rv0678, a transcriptional repressor of the genes encoding the MmpS5-MmpL5 efflux pump.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unexpected high prevalence of resistance-associated Rv0678 variants in MDR-TB patients without documented prior use of clofazimine or bedaquiline.

TL;DR: RAVs in Rv0678 occur more frequently in MDR-TB patients than previously anticipated, are not associated with prior use of bedaquiline or clofazimine, and in the majority of cases do not lead to bedquiline MICs above the provisional breakpoint.
Journal ArticleDOI

Specific gyrA gene mutations predict poor treatment outcome in MDR-TB

TL;DR: This study suggests that gyrA mutations at position 94, other than Ala, predict high-level resistance to gatifloxacin and moxiflOxacin, as well as poor treatment outcome, in MDR-TB patients in whom an injectable agent is still effective.
