Abstract excerpt
The control of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) is a major challenge. The frequency and mutation characteristics indicate the efficiency of molecular tests for the rapid detection of TB drug resistance. This study examined the existence of katG and inhA mutations for isoniazid (INH) resistance and rpoB mutations for rifampicin (RFP) resistance. In total, 178 drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB)...
