Abstract excerpt
The distribution and resistance levels of 189 in vitro-selected rifampin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis mutants of Beijing and other genotypes were determined. Apart from a higher amount of codon 522 point mutations and large deletions, a spread of mutations similar to that reported for clinical isolates was seen. Most mutations were correlated with high-level resistance; a lower level, or a MIC of <16...
