Abstract:

Bedaquiline, a diarylquinoline compound, is a novel anti-tuberculosis drug used for treatment of rifampicin-resistant and multi-drug resistant tuberculosis. Since its approval, bedaquiline has significantly improved anti-tuberculosis treatment outcomes. However, with its widespread usage, the emergence of bedaquiline resistance and its monitoring have become critical clinical concerns. This paper reviews molecular mechanisms of bedaquiline resistance, methods for identifying different resistance phenotypes and genotypes, aiming to provide insights for the clinical usage of bedaquiline and the monitoring and management of resistance.

Key words: Tuberculosis, Drug resistance, Diagnosis
