Recently in this journal, Salfinger and Migliori [1] discussed the accessibility of bedaquiline drug susceptibility testing and the analysis of minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. As the recommended treatments for diseases caused by M. avium, and especially M. intracellulare, have high failure rates [2, 3], we measured the MIC of bedaquiline in 20 clinical isolates of these species. Bedaquiline is a potential agent to treat severe or relapsing M. avium-intracellulare complex infections http://ow.ly/n1eR308pERh
