Occurrence of disputed rpoB mutations among Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates phenotypically susceptible to rifampicin in a country with a low incidence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis

BACKGROUND: Accurate drug susceptibility testing (DST) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in clinical specimens and culture isolates to first-line drugs is crucial for diagnosis and management of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Resistance of M. tuberculosis to rifampicin is mainly due to mutat...
