Abstract:
Currently, there are many studies on the mechanism of antibiotic resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), but there are few studies on its regulatory mechanism. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) have been recognized for their important role in controlling cellular dynamics such as metabolism and stress response, but the relationship between PTMs and antibiotic resistance gradually attracted the attention of researchers. Here, we summarize the definition of PTMs, and the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in M. tuberculosis and discuss how PTMs are involved in antibiotic resistance, in order to provide a new breakthrough for the development of new anti-Ttb drugs.
