Molecular microbiology - 1 Oct 1994
Zhang Y, Young D
Abstract excerpt
Southern blot analysis of chromosomal DNA from clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis using cosmid DNA probes revealed extensive strain variation in the katG region of the genome. In addition to deletion of the katG gene itself in some isoniazid-resistant strains, adjacent DNA fragments were missing or altered in a range of drug-sensitive and drug-resistant isolates. A species-specific 2kb Kpnl fragment...
