Two regions of rpoB associated with rifampin resistance were sequenced in 29 rifampin-resistant (determined by the proportion method) isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis obtained from patients from three counties in Hungary. Of the 29 resistant strains, 27 had a mutation in either the 81-bp region (26 strains) or the N-terminal region (1 strain), while the other 2 strains had no mutations in either region. The...
