Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Progress in the detection of drug-resistant TB has been underpinned by the development and implementation of new, reliable and rapid diagnostic tools. These rely mostly on the detection of specific mutations conferring resistance to anti-TB drugs. The aim of this study was to search for mutations associated with isoniazid resistance among Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates. METHODS: A...
