HIV coinfection is associated with low fitness rpoB variants in rifampicin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
We analysed 312 drug-resistant genomes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb ) collected from HIV coinfected and HIV negative TB patients from nine countries with a high tuberculosis burden. We found that rifampicin-resistant Mtb strains isolated from HIV coinfected patients carried disproportionally more resistance-conferring mutations in rpoB that are associated with a low fitness in the absence of the drug, suggesting these low fitness rpoB variants can thrive in the context of reduced host immunity.
