Contribution of putative efflux pump genes to isoniazid resistance in clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
1 Jan 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Isoniazid (INH) resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been mainly attributed to mutations in katG (64%) and inhA (19%). However, 20%-30% resistance to INH cannot be explained by mutations alone. Hence, other mechanisms besides mutations may play a significant role in providing drug resistance. Here, we explored the role of 24 putative efflux pump genes conferring INH-resistance in M....
