Abstract excerpt
Although para-aminosalicylic acid (PAS) has been used to treat tuberculosis agent for decades, its mechanisms of resistance are still not thoroughly understood. Previously, sporadic studies showed that certain mutations in the thyX-hsdS.1 region caused PAS resistance in M. tuberculosis, but a comprehensive analysis is lacking. Recently, we found a G-10A mutation in thyX-hsdS.1 in a PAS-resistant clinical isolate,...
