Abstract excerpt
To determine the prevalence and molecular characteristics of drug-resistant tuberculosis in Hunan province, drug susceptibility testing and spoligotyping methods were performed among 171 M. tuberculosis isolates. In addition, the mutated characteristics of 12 loci, including katG, inhA, rpoB, rpsL, nucleotides 388 to 1084 of the rrs gene [rrs(388-1084)], embB, pncA, tlyA, eis, nucleotides 1158 to 1674 of the rrs...
