Abstract excerpt
Rapid detection of resistance to the second-line drugs is essential for early initiation of appropriate anti-tubercular treatment regimen among multi-drug tuberculosis (MDR-TB). In this study, we applied a multiplex allele-specific PCR (MAS-PCR) to identify the mutations on codons 90 and 94 of gyrA and nucleotide 1401 of rrs for detecting ofloxacin (OFX) and kanamycin (KAN) resistance in 139 MDR-TB isolates from...
