Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Isoniazid-resistant (INHr) Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates often have katG mutations, and katG is a virulence factor in animal models. It is unclear if katG mutations or other mutations influence the characteristics of human disease. OBJECTIVE: To determine if the presence of INHr-conferring mutations were associated with distinct clinical features of tuberculosis (TB). METHODS: In a retrospective...
