Molecular characterization and drug resistance testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from Chad

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, Volume 44, No. 4, Year 2006

The molecular characterizations of the first 40 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from Chad revealed a high proportion of isolates of the Cameroon family (33%), of which one isolate showed a monodrug resistance. In total, 9/33 (27%) isolates were resistant to isoniazid. The implications of these findings are discussed. Copyright © 2006, American Society for Microbiology. All Rights Reserved.
