Abstract excerpt
The EmbCAB proteins have been considered a target for ethambutol (EMB). Mutations in embCAB are known to confer most EMB resistance. However, the knowledge about the effects of embCAB mutations on the EMB resistance level and about the role of mutation-mutation interactions is limited in China. Here, we sequenced embCAB among 125 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from China and quantified their EMB MICs by...
