Genetic mechanisms of co-emergence of INH-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains during the standard course of antituberculosis therapy

Genetic mechanisms of co-emergence of INH-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains during the standard course of antituberculosis therapy

ABSTRACTThe incidence of isoniazid (INH) resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis is increasing globally. This study aimed to identify the molecular mechanisms behind the development of INH resistance in M. tuberculosis strains collected from the same patients during the standard course of treatment. Th...
