The World Health Organization recommends the use of bedaquiline (BDQ) to formulate efficacious combination regimens against multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). This study reports, for the first time, a case series of MDR-TB patients treated with BDQ who experienced sputum culture reconversion due to emergence of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections.
