Abstract excerpt
AIMS: This study was carried out to evaluate high-resolution melting (HRM) curve analysis assay for detection of mutations in three drug resistance-associated genes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Clinical isolates of Myco. tuberculosis phenotypically resistant to rifampicin (n = 29), isoniazid (n = 35) and streptomycin (n = 34) were analysed for mutations in rpoB, katG and rpsL genes,...
