rpoB Mutations are Associated with Variable Levels of Rifampin and Rifabutin Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
1 Nov 2022
Abstract excerpt
Objective: To assess the relationship between the variant rpoB mutations and the degree of rifampin (RIF)/rifabutin (RFB) resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M. tuberculosis ). Methods: We analyzed the whole rpoB gene in 177 M. tuberculosis clinical isolates and quantified their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) using microplate-based assays. Results: The results revealed that of the 177 isolates,...
