Abstract excerpt
Rifampicin is the most powerful first-line antibiotic for tuberculosis, which is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Although accumulating evidence from sequencing data of clinical M. tuberculosis isolates suggested that mutations in the rifampicin-resistance-determining region (RRDR) are strongly associated with rifampicin resistance, the comprehensive characterisation of RRDR polymorphisms that confer this...
