Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic variation in host drug-metabolizing enzymes may influence the pharmacokinetics and treatment response of key anti-tuberculosis (TB) drugs, including isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RIF). This study investigated whether selected host metabolic gene profiles were associated with INH and RIF resistance phenotypes among TB patients. METHODS: This prospective study enrolled 41 bacteriologically...
