rpoB Mutations and Effects on Rifampin Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
1 Oct 2021
Abstract excerpt
Objective: To investigate the mutations within the whole rpoB gene of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and analyze their effects on rifampin (RIF) resistance based on crystal structure. Methods: We sequenced the entire rpoB gene in 175 tuberculosis isolates and quantified their minimum inhibitory concentrations using microplate-based assays. Additionally, the structural interactions between wild-type/mutant RpoB and...
