Detection of KatG/inhA Mutation to Guide Isoniazid and Ethionamide Use for Drug-resistant Tuberculosis
BACKGROUND Depending on the presence of mutations that determine isoniazid (INH) susceptibility (katG and inhA), Mycobacterium tuberculosis may be susceptible to high doses of INH or ethionamide (ETH). OBJECTIVE To describe the INH resistance profile and association of katG mutation with previous INH treatment and level of drug resistance based on rapid molecular drug susceptibility testing (...
