Emergence of resistance to the antiparasitic selamectin in Mycobacterium smegmatis is improbable and contingent on cell wall integrity

This study investigates selamectin resistance in Mycobacterium smegmatis and finds that resistance requires specific mutations and intact cell envelope integrity.

Genomic analysis of Mycobacterium brumae sustains its nonpathogenic and immunogenic phenotype

This study presents the genome of M. brumae and shows its nonpathogenic and immunogenic traits through genomic analysis.

Unravelling the population structure and transmission patterns of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Mozambique, a high TB/HIV burden country

The paper uses whole-genome sequencing to analyze Mycobacterium tuberculosis population structure and transmission patterns in Mozambique, finding recent transmission and endemic clades linked to HIV/TB coinfected patients.

An evolutionary functional genomics approach identifies novel candidate regions involved in isoniazid resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

The paper identifies novel candidate genes for isoniazid resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis using evolutionary functional genomics and phylogenetic analysis of clinical strain genomes.

Gene expression models based on a reference laboratory strain are bad predictors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex transcriptional diversity.

The paper shows that gene expression models based on the H37Rv strain poorly predict transcriptional diversity in Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex strains.
