Evolution of extensively drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis from a susceptible ancestor in a single patient
BACKGROUND: Mycobacterium tuberculosis is characterized by a low mutation rate and a lack of genetic recombination. Yet, the rise of extensively resistant strains paints a picture of a microbe with an impressive adaptive potential. Here we describe the first documented case of extensively drug-resis...
