Abstract excerpt
The phenotypic resistance to ethambutol (EMB) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis with embB gene mutations is still unclear. This study was designed to better understand EMB resistance due to embB gene mutation. Sequencing analysis of the embB gene was performed for 124 EMB-susceptible and 93 EMB-resistant M. tuberculosis strains isolated from South Korea. The MIC was determined for EMB-susceptible M. tuberculosis...
