This study uses transposon insertion sequencing to identify genes contributing to intrinsic rifamycin resistance in Mycobacterium abscessus, revealing new mechanisms and potential therapeutic strategies.

This study quantifies how combination therapy with concomitant drugs suppresses macrolide resistance in M. avium using improved time-kill assays and PK/PD modeling.

The paper identifies strain-specific genetic requirements for hypoxic growth in Mycobacterium intracellulare using transposon sequencing and validates findings in a mouse infection model.

The paper identifies non-identical 16S rRNA gene copies in six non-tuberculosis mycobacteria species using cloning and sequencing.
