Abstract
ABSTRACT
We analyzed 159
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
isolates (101 ethambutol [EMB]-resistant strains, 33 multidrug-resistant but not EMB-resistant strains, and 25 fully susceptible strains) for the presence of mutations in
embB
codon 306 (
embB
306). Mutations were detected only in EMB-resistant strains (
n
= 69; 68%), thus confirming the significance of
embB
306 mutations for the prediction of resistance to EMB.
