Abstract
Globally, mutations in the katG gene account for the majority of isoniazid-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis . Buyankhishig et al. analyzed a limited number of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains in Mongolia and found that isoniazid resistance was mainly attributable to inhA mutations (B. Buyankhishig, T. Oyuntuya, B. Tserelmaa, J. Sarantuya, et al., Int J Mycobacteriol 1:40–44, 2012, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmyco.2012.01.007 ).
