Bedaquiline demonstrated strong antibacterial activity against various NTM species and is a promising drug to treat NTM infections. However, data on the genomic mutations associated with bedaquiline resistance were scarce, preventing statistical analyses for most mutations and NTM species. Further studies are urgently needed to better inform treatment strategies.
