Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The emergence of strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis resistant to drugs is a public health problem. AIM: To characterize the resistance to isoniazid (INH) in M. tuberculosis. METHODS: Phenotypic and genotypic methods were used to determine the contribution of mutations at 315 codon of katG gene to the phenotypic expression of resistance. The analysis of susceptibility to antibiotics was performed...
