How a PCR Sequencing Strategy Can Bring New Data to Improve the Diagnosis of Ethionamide Resistance

Ethionamide (ETH) is a second-line antituberculosis drug. ETH resistance (ETH-R) is mainly related to the mutations of the monooxygenase-activating ETH (EthA), the ETH target (InhA), and the <i>inhA</i> promoter. Nonetheless, diagnosing ETH-R is still challenging. We assessed the strateg...
