Phenotypic drug susceptibility testing could not be performed due to poor growth; however, a line probe assay performed on the isolate identified resistance to rifampin and isoniazid. The patient was treated with the all-oral bedaquiline, pretomanid, linezolid, and moxifloxacin (BPaLM) regimen. Due to concerns regarding impaired drug absorption following gastrectomy, therapeutic drug monitoring was performed to guide dosing. Therapeutic drug levels were ultimately achieved, and sputum culture conversion occurred after 5 weeks of effective therapy. The patient successfully completed the 26-week regimen with sustained microbiologic cure.\n                      <\/jats:p>\n                    <\/jats:sec>\n                    <jats:sec>\n                      <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                      <jats:p>This case demonstrates successful use of the all-oral BPaLM regimen in a patient with prior gastrectomy when supported by therapeutic drug monitoring.
