Abstract excerpt
To investigate the molecular characterization of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) isolates from China and the association of specific mutations conferring drug resistance with strains of different genotypes, we performed spoligotyping and sequenced nine loci (katG, inhA, the oxyR-ahpC intergenic region, rpoB, tlyA, eis, rrs, gyrA, and gyrB) for 128 MDR-TB isolates. Our results showed that 108 isolates...
