IMPORTANCE: An accurate diagnosis of drug resistance in clinical isolates is an important step for better treatment outcomes. The current study observed a higher discordance rate of rifampicin resistance on Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT) drug susceptibility testing (DST) than Lowenstein-Jenson (LJ) DST when compared with the rpoB sequencing. We detected a few novel mutations and their combination in...
