title: Molecular Epidemiology and Polymorphism Analysis in Drug-Resistant Genes in M. tuberculosis Clinical Isolates from Western and Northern India creator: Rana, Vibhuti creator: Singh, Nittu creator: Nikam, Chaitali creator: Kambli, Priti creator: Singh, Pravin Kumar creator: Singh, Urmila creator: Jain, Amita creator: Rodrigues, Camilla creator: Sharma, Charu subject: QR Microbiology description: The mechanistic details of first line drug (FLD) resistance have been thoroughly explored but the genetic resistance mechanisms of second line injectables, which form the backbone of the combinatorial drug resistant tuberculosis therapy, are partially identified. This study aims to highlight the genetic and spoligotypic differences in the second line drug (SLD) resistant and sensitive Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) clinical isolates from Mumbai (Western India) and Lucknow (Northern India). publisher: Dove Press date: 2022-04-08 type: Article type: PeerReviewed relation: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9005233/ identifier: Rana, Vibhuti and Singh, Nittu and Nikam, Chaitali and Kambli, Priti and Singh, Pravin Kumar and Singh, Urmila and Jain, Amita and Rodrigues, Camilla and Sharma, Charu (2022) Molecular Epidemiology and Polymorphism Analysis in Drug-Resistant Genes in M. tuberculosis Clinical Isolates from Western and Northern India.
