Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: In this study, we assessed the genetic diversity and gene mutations that confer resistance to rifampicin (RIF), isoniazid (INH), fluoroquinolone (FQ), and second-line injectable (SLI) drugs in RIF-resistant (RR)/multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) isolates in Northwest Ethiopia. METHODS: Spoligotyping was used to assign isolates to TB lineages (Ls), and Hain line probe assays were used to detect...
