Genetic diversity of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates from Khuzestan province, Iran

4 Jul 2022

Abstract excerpt

The emergence of drug-resistant strains of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) has challenged tuberculosis control programs. So far, few studies using the 24-locus mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit variable number tandem repeats (MIRU-VNTR) have investigated the genetic diversity of MTB in Iran. This study aimed to determine the genetic diversity of MTB isolates resistant to first-line anti-tuberculosis...
