Drug resistance profiles and related gene mutations in slow-growing non-tuberculous mycobacteria isolated in regional tuberculosis reference laboratories of Iran: a three year cross-sectional study.

Abstract excerpt

There are limited studies on the antibiotic resistance patterns of slowly growing mycobacteria (SGM) species and their related gene mutations in Iran. This study aimed to elucidate the antibiotic susceptibility profiles and the mutations in some genes that are associated with the antibiotic resistance among SGM isolates from Iran. The SGM strains were isolated from sputum samples of suspected tuberculosis (TB)...
