Detection of genomic mutations in katG and rpoB genes among multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from Tehran, Iran
16 Apr 2021
Abstract excerpt
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains, defined as resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampin, have emerged as a major worldwide health threat. Spontaneous point mutations in various genes of M. tuberculosis cause resistance to isoniazid, with the most frequent gene target being katG; and resistance to rifampin is usually due to mutation in the rpoB gene. The current study was aimed to...
