Abstract excerpt
Identifying the Mycobacterium tuberculosis resistance mutation patterns is of the utmost importance to assure proper patient's management and devising of control programs aimed to limit spread of disease. Zoonotic Mycobacterium bovis infection still represents a threat to human health, particularly in dairy production regions. Routinary, molecular characterization of M. bovis is performed primarily by...
