Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To compare the antimycobacterial activities of rifampicin (RFP) and rifabutin (RBT), and to evaluate the correlation between RBT resistance and genetic alterations in the rpoB gene. METHODS: The microplate-based alamar blue assay (MABA) method was performed to detect the antimycobacterial activities of RFP and RBT in 168 strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis). Meanwhile, we also...
