Abstract
Genetically antimicrobial resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is currently one of the most important aspects of tuberculosis, considering that there are emerging resistant strains for almost every known drug used for its treatment. There are multiple antimicrobials used for tuberculosis treatment, and the most effective ones are the first-line drugs, which include isoniazid, pyrazinamide, rifampicin, and ethambutol. In this context, understanding the mechanisms of action and resistance of these molecules is essential for proposing new therapies and strategies of treatment. Additionally, understanding how and where mutations arise conferring a resistance profile to the bacteria and their effect on bacterial metabolism is an important requisite to be taken in producing safer and less susceptible drugs to the emergence of resistance. In this review, we summarize the most recent literature regarding novel mutations reported between 2017 and 2022 and the advances in the molecular mechanisms of action and resistance against first-line drugs used in tuberculosis treatment, highlighting recent findings in pyrazinamide resistance involving PanD and, additionally, resistance-conferring mutations for novel drugs such as bedaquiline, pretomanid, delamanid and linezolid.

Abstract
HIV significantly affects the immunological environment during tuberculosis coinfection, and therefore may influence the selective landscape upon which M. tuberculosis evolves. To test this hypothesis whole genome sequences were determined for 169 South African M. tuberculosis strains from HIV-1 coinfected and uninfected individuals and analyzed using two Bayesian codon-model based selection analysis approaches: FUBAR which was used to detect persistent positive and negative selection (selection respectively favoring and disfavoring nonsynonymous substitutions); and MEDS which was used to detect episodic directional selection specifically favoring nonsynonymous substitutions within HIV-1 infected individuals. Among the 25,251 polymorphic codon sites analyzed, FUBAR revealed that 189-fold more were detectably evolving under persistent negative selection than were evolving under persistent positive selection. Three specific codon sites within the genes celA2b, katG, and cyp138 were identified by MEDS as displaying significant evidence of evolving under directional selection influenced by HIV-1 coinfection. All three genes encode proteins that may indirectly interact with human proteins that, in turn, interact functionally with HIV proteins. Unexpectedly, epitope encoding regions were enriched for sites displaying weak evidence of directional selection influenced by HIV-1. Although the low degree of genetic diversity observed in our M. tuberculosis data set means that these results should be interpreted carefully, the effects of HIV-1 on epitope evolution in M. tuberculosis may have implications for the design of M. tuberculosis vaccines that are intended for use in populations with high HIV-1 infection rates.

Abstract
Mutations in katG gene are often associated with isoniazid (INH) resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain. This research was perfomed to identify the katG mutation in clinical isolate (L8) that is resistant to INH at 1 μg/ml. In addition to characterize the catalase-peroxidase of KatG L8 and perform the ab initio structural study of the protein to get a more complete understanding in drug activation and the resistance mechanism. The katG gene was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, then followed by characterization of catalase-peroxidase of KatG. The structure modelling was performed to know a basis of alterations in enzyme activity. A substitution of A713G that correspond to Asn238Ser replacement was found in the L8 katG. The Asn238Ser modification leads to a decline in the activity of catalase-peroxidase and INH oxidation of the L8 KatG protein. The catalytic efficiency (Kcat/KM) of mutant KatGAsn238Ser respectively decreases to 41 and 52% for catalase and peroxidase. The mutant KatGAsn238Ser also shows a decrease of 62% in INH oxidation if compared to a wild type KatG (KatGwt). The mutant Asn238Ser might cause instability in the substrate binding site of KatG, because of removal of a salt bridge connecting the amine group of Asn238 to the carboxyl group of Glu233, which presents in KatGwt. The lost of the salt bridge in the substrate binding site in mutant KatGAsn238Ser created changes unfavorable for enzyme activities, which in turn emerge as INH resistance in the L8 isolate of M. tuberculosis.

Abstract
The clinical and mycobacterial features of tuberculous meningitis (TBM) cases in China are not well described; especially in western provinces with poor tuberculosis control. We prospectively enrolled patients in whom TBM was considered in Shaanxi Province, northwestern China, over a 2-year period (September 2010 to December 2012). Cerebrospinal fluid specimens were cultured for Mycobacterium tuberculosis; with phenotypic and genotypic drug susceptibility testing (DST), as well as genotyping of all positive cultures. Among 350 patients included in the study, 27 (7.7%) had culture-confirmed TBM; 84 (24.0%) had probable and 239 (68.3%) had possible TBM. DST was performed on 25/27 (92.3%) culture positive specimens; 12/25 (48.0%) had "any resistance" detected and 3 (12.0%) were multi-drug resistant (MDR). Demographic and clinical features of drug resistant and drug susceptible TBM cases were similar. Beijing was the most common genotype (20/25; 80.0%) with 9/20 (45%) of the Beijing strains exhibiting drug resistance; including all 3 MDR strains. All (4/4) isoniazid resistant strains had mutations in the katG gene; 75% (3/4) of strains with phenotypic rifampicin resistance had mutations in the rpoB gene detected by Xpert MTB/RIF®. High rates of drug resistance were found among culture-confirmed TBM cases; most were Beijing strains.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Detection of pyrazinamide resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates presents significant challenges in settings with no dominant clonal lineages, such as Australia. We assessed the utility of WGS versus standard PCR amplification assays for the characterization of pyrazinamide resistance in MDR-TB isolates identified in New South Wales, Australia, over an 8 year period. METHODS PCR amplicon sequencing was used to identify molecular markers associated with antibiotic resistance in pyrazinamide-resistant MDR-TB isolates recovered by the New South Wales Mycobacterium Reference Laboratory between 2007 and 2014. WGS was subsequently performed on two isolates for which pncA amplification failed. RESULTS WGS identified two novel genomic deletions associated with in vitro resistance to pyrazinamide in MDR-TB. One isolate also carried a second deletion involving the genes dfrA and thyA associated with resistance to para-aminosalicylic acid. CONCLUSIONS Steadily decreasing sequencing costs are increasing the appeal of WGS as an alternative approach for detecting complex patterns of pyrazinamide resistance in MDR-TB.

Abstract
When access to molecular oxygen is restricted, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) can respire an alternative electron acceptor, nitrate. We found that Mtb within infected primary human macrophages in vitro at physiologic tissue oxygen tensions respired nitrate, generating copious nitrite. A strain of Mtb lacking a functioning nitrate reductase was more susceptible than wild-type Mtb to treatment with isoniazid during infection of macrophages. Likewise, nitrate reductase-deficient Mtb was more susceptible to isoniazid than wild-type Mtb in axenic culture, and more resistant to hydrogen peroxide. These phenotypes were reversed by the addition of exogenous nitrite. Further investigation suggested that nitrite might inhibit the bacterial catalase. To the extent that Mtb itself is the most relevant source of nitrite acting within Mtb, these findings suggest that inhibitors of Mtb's nitrate transporter or nitrate reductase could enhance the efficacy of isoniazid.

Abstract
Catalase-peroxidase (KatG) is found in eubacteria, archaea, and lower eukaryotae. The enzyme from Mycobacterium tuberculosis has received the greatest attention because of its role in activation of the antitubercular pro-drug isoniazid, and the high frequency with which drug resistance stems from mutations to the katG gene. Generally, the catalase activity of KatGs is striking. It rivals that of typical catalases, enzymes with which KatGs share no structural similarity. Instead, catalatic turnover is accomplished with an active site that bears a strong resemblance to a typical peroxidase (e.g., cytochrome c peroxidase). Yet, KatG is the only member of its superfamily with such capability. It does so using two mutually dependent cofactors: a heme and an entirely unique Met-Tyr-Trp (MYW) covalent adduct. Heme is required to generate the MYW cofactor. The MYW cofactor allows KatG to leverage heme intermediates toward a unique mechanism for H2O2 oxidation. This review evaluates the range of intermediates identified and their connection to the diverse catalytic processes KatG facilitates, including mechanisms of isoniazid activation.

Abstract
In this communication we report for the first time a biocatalytic method for stereoselective oxidation of β-lactams, represented by penicillin-G, penicillin-V and cephalosporin-G to their (R)-sulfoxides. The method involves use of a bacterium, identified as Bacillus pumilis as biocatalyst. The enzyme responsible for oxidase activity has been purified and characterized as catalase-peroxidase (KatG). KatG of B. pumilis is a heme containing protein showing characteristic heme spectra with soret peak at 406 nm and visible peaks at 503 and 635 nm. The major properties that distinguish B. pumilis KatG from other bacterial KatGs are (i) it is a monomer and contains one heme per monomer, whereas KatGs of other bacteria are dimers or tetramers and have low heme content of about one per dimer or two per tetramer and (ii) its 12-residue, N-terminal sequence obtained by Edman degradation did not show significant similarity with any of known KatGs.

Abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis catalase-peroxidase (KatG) is a bifunctional hemoprotein that has been shown to activate isoniazid (INH), a pro-drug that is integral to frontline antituberculosis treatments. The activated species, presumed to be an isonicotinoyl radical, couples to NAD(+)/NADH forming an isoniazid-NADH adduct that ultimately confers anti-tubercular activity. To better understand the mechanisms of isoniazid activation as well as the origins of KatG-derived INH-resistance, we have compared the catalytic properties (including the ability to form the INH-NADH adduct) of the wild-type enzyme to 23 KatG mutants which have been associated with isoniazid resistance in clinical M. tuberculosis isolates. Neither catalase nor peroxidase activities, the two inherent enzymatic functions of KatG, were found to correlate with isoniazid resistance. Furthermore, catalase function was lost in mutants which lacked the Met-Tyr-Trp crosslink, the biogenic cofactor in KatG which has been previously shown to be integral to this activity. The presence or absence of the crosslink itself, however, was also found to not correlate with INH resistance. The KatG resistance-conferring mutants were then assayed for their ability to generate the INH-NADH adduct in the presence of peroxide (t-BuOOH and H(2)O(2)), superoxide, and no exogenous oxidant (air-only background control). The results demonstrate that residue location plays a critical role in determining INH-resistance mechanisms associated with INH activation; however, different mutations at the same location can produce vastly different reactivities that are oxidant-specific. Furthermore, the data can be interpreted to suggest the presence of a second mechanism of INH-resistance that is not correlated with the formation of the INH-NADH adduct.

Abstract
Catalase-peroxidases (KatG) are bifunctional heme peroxidases with an overwhelming catalatic activity. The structures show that the buried heme b is connected to the exterior of the enzyme by a main channel built up by KatG-specific loops named large loop LL1 and LL2, the former containing the highly conserved sequence Met-Gly-Leu-Ile-Tyr-Val-Asn-Pro-Glu-Gly. LL1 residues Ile248, Asn251, Pro252, and Glu253 of KatG from Synechocystis are the focus of this study because of their exposure to the solute matrix of the access channel. In particular, the I248F, N251L, P252A, E253Q, and E253D mutants have been analyzed by UV-visible and resonance Raman spectroscopies in combination with steady-state and presteady-state kinetic analyses. Exchange of these residues did not alter the kinetics of cyanide binding or the overall peroxidase activity. Moreover, the kinetics of compound I formation and reduction by one-electron donors was similar in the variants and the wild-type enzyme. However, the turnover numbers of the catalase activity of I248F, N251L, E253Q, and E253D were only 12.3, 32.6, 25, and 42% of the wild-type activity, respectively. These findings demonstrate that the oxidation reaction of hydrogen peroxide (not its reduction) was affected by these mutations. The altered kinetics allowed us to monitor the spectral features of the dominating redox intermediate of E253Q in the catalase cycle. Resonance Raman data and structural analysis demonstrated the existence of a very rigid and ordered structure built up by the interactions of these residues with distal side and also (via LL1) proximal side amino acids, with the heme itself, and with the solute matrix in the channel. The role of Glu253 and the other investigated channel residues in maintaining an ordered matrix of oriented water dipoles, which guides hydrogen peroxide to its site of oxidation, is discussed.
