Identification of novel resistance-associated mutations and discrimination within whole-genome sequences of fluoroquinolone-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates.

Abstract excerpt

This study aims to elucidate additional mutation loci associated with fluoroquinolone (FQ) resistance and evaluate the discriminatory capacity of mutation loci and allele mutation frequencies in identifying FQ-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) isolates. A random selection of isolates was extracted from an ongoing collection. Drug resistance was determined using the resazurin microtiter assay (REMA) as...
