- The study focuses on a rapidly growing non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) that causes various infections, which are hard to treat due to antibiotic resistance.
- Researchers used transposon sequencing to identify ~362 essential genes for the bacterium's in vitro growth, discovering vulnerabilities that could guide new drug development.
- One key finding is the importance of the enzyme PBP-lipo, which affects cell wall synthesis; targeting PBP-lipo can enhance the efficacy of certain antibiotics against the bacterium, making it a promising drug target for treating infections.
