The catalase-peroxidase gene and isoniazid resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Nature - 13 Aug 1992

Zhang Y, Heym B, Allen B, Young D, Cole S

Abstract excerpt

Tuberculosis is responsible for one in four of all avoidable adult deaths in developing countries. Increased frequency and accelerated fatality of the disease among individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus has raised worldwide concern that control programmes may be inadequate, and the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has resulted in several recent fatal...
