Quite important example for therapy failure and BDQ resistance development despite obviously effective background regimen. Much more research needed @unam_na @FZBorstel @medinflame @trans_evo

Our ambitious study defining the genes required for the survival of M. bovis in cattle is finally out in MBio! We used Tnseq to identify 300 genes required for survival and show commonalities with mouse models. We identify some novel virulence factors and

Starting a new patient on #TB treatment. This is all the tablets they need to take for just one week - 10 tablets a day! It’s just too much! We desperately need more tolerable regimes already 😖🥺

We have used Tn-seq in M. bovis to screen genes required in vivo. Known "core" virulence factors seen (as expected - but also some novel observations! @jenni_jane1 @Meesh5_AJ @irileniaN @WerlingLab @ValwynneF @sam_willcocks and other not on Twitter.
