Abstract excerpt
The second-line injectable drugs (SLID, i.e., amikacin, kanamycin, capreomycin) are key drugs for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Mutations in rrs region 1400, tlyA, and eis promoter are associated with resistance to SLID, to capreomycin, and to kanamycin, respectively. In this study, the sequencing data of SLID resistance-associated genes were compared to the results of phenotypic drug...
