Acquired resistance during treatment will remain a principal driver of the extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) epidemic into the foreseeable future (1). Conventional culture-based phenotypic drug-susceptibility testing (DST) for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) as conceived in the 1960s is laborious, scarce in many regions, and too slow for clinical decision-making. Existing commercial molecular TB diagnostic tests provide results within days but can only detect resistant subpopulations greater than 5–65% of the total M.tb population (2–4). We recently developed a novel targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) approach (Single Molecule-Overlapping Reads [SMOR]) that is able to discern low-level minority resistant populations between 0.1% and 5% (i.e., microheteroresistance) for isoniazid, rifampin, fluoroquinolones (FQs), second-line injectables (SLIs), and pyrazinamide (genes katG and inhA/inhA promoter; rpoB; gyrA/B; rrs; and pncA, respectively) (5, 6). We hypothesized that genotypic microheteroresistance may precede the acquisition of phenotypic drug resistance in clinical practice.
