Abstract excerpt
Specific mutations associated with resistance to streptomycin (SM) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis suggest themselves for its rapid prediction. However, as with any diagnostic test, their predictive values are dependent on their prevalences. In this report, SM resistance associated mutations in the rrs and rpsL genes of 25 SM resistant isolates from Germany and 25 SM resistant isolates from Sierra Leone were...
