Rifampin resistance-associated mutations in the RIF resistance-determining region (RRDR) of the rpoB gene of Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates in Shanghai, China
2019-07-23
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Resistance to rifampin (RIF) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is associated with mutations in the rpoB gene coding for the beta-subunit of RNA polymerase. The contribution of many individual rpoB mutations to the development and level of RIF resistance remains elusive. Our objective for this study was to investigate the relationship between specific rpoB mutations and the minimum inhib...
