Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the etiological agent of tuberculosis (TB), a disease that affects millions of people in the world and that is associated with several human diseases. The bacillus is highly adapted to infect and survive inside the host, mainly because of its cellular envelope plasticity, which can be modulated to adapt to an unfriendly host environment; to manipulate the host immune response; and to resist therapeutic treatment, increasing in this way the drug resistance of TB. The superfamily of ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) transporters are integral membrane proteins that include both importers and exporters. Both types share a similar structural organization, yet only importers have a periplasmic substrate-binding domain, which is essential for substrate uptake and transport. ABC transporter-type importers play an important role in the bacillus physiology through the transport of several substrates that will interfere with nutrition, pathogenesis, and virulence. Equally relevant, exporters have been involved in cell detoxification, nutrient recycling, and antibiotics and drug efflux, largely affecting the survival and development of multiple drug-resistant strains. Here, we review known ABC transporters from M. tuberculosis, with particular focus on the diversity of their structural features and relevance in infection and drug resistance.
