Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The mechanisms of resistance to para-aminosalicylic acid (PAS) are undefined. In this study, we explored the mechanisms of M. tuberculosis PAS resistance in clinical isolates. METHOD: The whole sequence of thymidylate synthase (thyA) gene encoding thyA genes was sequenced in 51 para-aminosalicylic acid (PAS)-sensitive and 44 resistant M. tuberculosis clinical isolates. RESULTS: Sixteen of 44 resistant...
