High Isoniazid Resistance Rates in Rifampicin Susceptible Mycobacterium tuberculosis Pulmonary Isolates from Pakistan
BACKGROUND: Rapid new diagnostic methods (including Xpert MTB/RIF assay) use rifampicin resistance as a surrogate marker for multidrug resistant tuberculosis. Patients infected with rifampicin susceptible strains are prescribed first line anti-tuberculosis therapy. The roll out of such methods raise...
