Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: The isoniazid (INH) resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is caused by mutations in the katG and inhA genes encoding for catalase-peroxidase and inhA, respectively. Sequences of the katG and inhA gene of 70 isolates were analyzed to identify the mutations and to compare the mutations with their related susceptibilities. METHODS: Sequences of the katG and inhA genes and the resistance...
