Rapid identification of extensively and extremely drug resistant tuberculosis from multidrug resistant strains; using PCR-RFLP and PCR-SSCP

Rapid identification of extensively and extremely drug resistant tuberculosis from multidrug resistant strains; using PCR-RFLP and PCR-SSCP

Background and Objectives: Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is caused by mutations in genes encoding drug targets. Investigators have already demonstrated the existence of mutations in codons 88 to 94 in the gyrA gene and also in codons 1400, 1401, and 1483 of rrs gene among extensively and...
