Resumen

We analyzed 312 drug-resistant genomes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates collected from HIV-coinfected and HIV-negative TB patients from nine countries with a high tuberculosis burden. We found that rifampicin-resistant M. tuberculosis strains isolated from HIV-coinfected patients carried disproportionally more resistance-conferring mutations in rpoB that are associated with a low fitness in the absence of the drug, suggesting these low-fitness rpoB variants can thrive in the context of reduced host immunity.
