Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The global rise in drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb), and especially the significant prevalence of isoniazid (INH)-resistance constitute a significant challenge to global health. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate mutations in prevalent gene loci-involved in INH-resistance phenotype-among M.tb clinical isolates from southwestern Iran. METHODS: Drug susceptibility testing...
