Re-evaluation of critical concentrations of antituberculosis fluoroquinolones in the Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube 960 system

Re-evaluation of critical concentrations of antituberculosis fluoroquinolones in the Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube 960 system

Background: Fluoroquinolones (FQs) have substantial activity against the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBc) by preventing bacterial DNA synthesis through DNA gyrase inhibition. The reference standard for FQ-resistance testing is phenotypic drug-susceptibility testing (pDST) based on growth in...
