FIG. 1 Proposed epistatic interactions in drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). Human-adapted MTBC consists of six main phylogenetic lineages. The genetic background of these strain lineages could interact differently with drug-resistance-conferring mutations. Similar interactions could occur between different drug-resistance-conferring mutations and compensatory mutations.
