Abstract excerpt
Point mutations in the rrs gene and the eis promoter are known to confer resistance to the second-line injectable drugs (SLIDs) amikacin (AMK), capreomycin (CAP), and kanamycin (KAN). While mutations in these canonical genes confer the majority of SLID resistance, alternative mechanisms of resistance are not uncommon and threaten effective treatment decisions when using conventional molecular diagnostics. In...
