DNA SEQUENCE ANALYSIS OF rpoB GENE MUTATIONS IN RIFAMPICIN-RESISTANT MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS

2006-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is an increasing health problem, which contributes to mortality from tuberculosis (TB). Rifampicin (RIF) resistance is considered a marker for MDR-TB. Resistance to RIF results from mutation in the gene encoding the beta subunit of RNA polymerase (rpoB) of the mycobacterial tuberculosis (MTB) complex. The aim of this study was to assess the presence of RIF-resistant TB str...
