Genetic mutations at rifampicin resistance-determining region of RpoB gene in conferring resistance to isolated multidrug-resistant tuberculosis strains
Introduction: Drug resistant tuberculosis (TB) among the new and retreatment cases was seen to be 5%. Multidrug resistant TB to at least isoniazid and Rifampicin is an alarming threat to the community and the scenario is even worse for retreatment cases showing rising trend over the years. A systema...
