Abstract excerpt
Multi drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR TB) has been well studied in outbreaks in settings of low endemicity in developed countries. However, the characteristics of MDR TB in the community with high endemicity such as India have not been well investigated. Mutations in the 81-bp rifampicin resistance-determining region of the rpoB gene were analyzed by DNA sequencing of 187 M. tuberculosis clinical...
