Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) ... M. tuberculosis has a unique cell wall structure composed of mycolic acids, contributing to its potential to become resistant to certain antibiotics.

Unfortunately, clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains rapidly become resistant to bedaquiline, predominantly by overexpression of MmpL5. The proteins MmpL5 and MmpL4 are efflux transporters, ...
