Abstract excerpt
Rifampicin (RIF) an essential first-line anti-tuberculosis (TB) drug, resistance to RIF is a potential threat to TB control program and widely considered as surrogate marker for detection of multi-drug resistant-TB (MDR-TB), molecular understanding of which is the utmost need of the hour. Mutations at RIF resistance-determining region (RRDR) of 81-bp in the rpoB gene coding for β subunit or RpoB protein is the...
