Abstract

Mutations in the genes of the F420 signaling pathway of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, including dnn, fgd1, fbiA, fbiB, fbiC, and fbiD, can lead to delamanid resistance. We searched for such mutations among 129 M. tuberculosis strains from Asia, South America, and Africa using whole-genome sequencing; 70 (54%) strains had at least one mutation in one of the genes. For 10 strains with mutations, we determined the MIC of delamanid. We found one strain from a delamanid-naive patient carrying the natural polymorphism Tyr29del (ddn) that was associated with a critical delamanid MIC.
