Mutation pattern in rifampicin resistance determining region of rpoB gene in multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from Pakistan
The current study was undertaken to characterize the RRDR rpoB gene mutations among the rifampicin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) isolates from Pakistan. Rifampicin mutation patterns were analyzed by using PCR followed by rpoB gene sequencing. Among the 1080 referred TB cases, 63 (6%) we...
