Abstract

The antituberculosis drug telacebec is ineffective against Mycobacterium abscessus. A recent study suggested that TB47, a telacebec analogue, potentiated the efficacy of clofazimine against M. abscessus. Here, we report that TB47 not only is ineffective against M. abscessus in vitro but also does not potentiate the activity of clofazimine.
