antibiotic resistance mechanisms frequently confer a fitness cost, and these costs can be genetically ameliorated by intra- or extragenic second-site mutations, often without loss of resistance. Another mechanism by which the fitness cost of antibiotic resistance can be reduced is via a regulatory response where the deleterious effect of the resistance mechanism is lowered by a physiological alteration that buffers the mutational effect. In mycobacteria, resistance to the clinically used tuberactinomycin antibiotic capreomycin involves loss-of-function mutations in rRNA methylase TlyA or point mutations in 16S rRNA, in particular the A1408G mutation. Both of these alterations result in resistance by reducing drug binding to the ribosome. In mycobacteria, this nonmutational mechanism (i.e. gene regulatory) can restore fitness to genetically resistant bacteria. Incubation with capreomycin during bacterial growth results in a reduced post-transcriptional modification of rRNA at TlyA-dependent sites (1409 in 16S and 1920 in 23S), cf. EC 2.1.1.226
