Genomic and functional analyses of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains implicate ald in D-cycloserine resistance

A more complete understanding of the genetic basis of drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is critical for prompt diagnosis and optimal treatment, particularly for toxic second-line drugs like D-cycloserine. Here, we used whole-genome sequences from 498 strains of M. tuberculosis to identif...
