Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To assess the mutation effects of ethambutol (EMB) resistance-associated genes, including embCAB operon, ubiA, embR, and aftA, on the EMB resistance levels among multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) isolates from China. METHODS: A total of 159 MDR-TB from China had their EMB MICs quantified, and the sequences of the four ethambutol resistance-associated regions were analyzed. A multivariate...
