This study identifies ubiA gene mutations as the primary mechanism of ethambutol resistance in M. avium by analyzing clinical strains and resistant mutants.

This study compares the in vitro activity of clarithromycin and azithromycin against M. abscessus complex isolates, finding significant resistance differences and discordance in susceptibility profiles.

This study identifies mutations in the marR gene and other genes associated with clofazimine resistance in Mycobacterium intracellulare through whole-genome sequencing and complementation experiments.

This paper identifies a novel Providencia species, Providencia lanzhouensis, from a urinary tract infection isolate using genomic and biochemical analyses.

The paper uses single cell RNA sequencing to assess the effects of protein-altering variants in three genes, showing that single cell expression signatures are more effective than bulk assays and computational models for predicting pathogenicity.
