Role of Epistasis in Amikacin, Kanamycin, Bedaquiline, and Clofazimine Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex

Roger Vargas et al.

Summary: Antibiotic resistance among bacterial pathogens is a major global health threat, with Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex having the highest resistance rates globally. By analyzing over 31,000 MTBC genomes, it was demonstrated that certain mutations may not confer resistance independently and might require multiple mutations to act together. Understanding the association between specific mutations and resistance through genome analysis can help improve drug susceptibility testing.

Genome-wide gene expression tuning reveals diverse vulnerabilities of M. tuberculosis

Barbara Bosch et al.

Summary: The study suggests that traditional genetic approaches may not accurately identify high-value bacterial targets, while using CRISPR technology to modulate gene expression can help differentiate bacteria's vulnerability to gene inhibition, identifying both highly vulnerable genes and invulnerable essential genes.

Estimation of the global burden of Mycobacterium tuberculosis lineage 1

Thidarat Netikul et al.

Summary: Tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis Lineage 1 (L1) is a major concern globally, with high burden in countries like India, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Bangladesh. It accounts for a significant proportion of global tuberculosis cases and requires more attention in developing and implementing control measures to achieve the End TB Strategy.

Multiform antimicrobial resistance from a metabolic mutation

Sarah M. Schrader et al.

Summary: A critical challenge faced by microbiology and medicine is how to cure infections caused by bacteria that survive antibiotic treatment by persistence or tolerance. Research has found that even a single base change in a gene encoding a component of a metabolic pathway can confer multiple forms of resistance to multiple antibiotics with different targets. This extraordinary resilience may help explain why substerilizing exposure to one antibiotic in a regimen can induce resistance to others, and could lead to the development of drugs targeting the mediator of multiform resistance, WhiB7.
