Abstract excerpt
In an attempt to uncover genotypic indicators for isoniazid (INH) resistance in M. tuberculosis, in addition to the canonical mutations in genes associated with INH resistance, including katG, inhA and fabG promoter; we analyzed, two INH monoresistant isolates, ASTS24/13 (INHR1) and SHR1/14 (INHR2). Targeted Sanger sequencing detected a canonical mutation at katG315 only in INHR2. Infection of THP-1 cells and...
