Summary: Background: rpoB gene mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) make the bacteria resistant to rifampicin. Thus, these mutations are surrogate markers for multi-drug resistance (MDR). The objective of this study was to evaluate an allele-specific multiplex-polymerase chain reaction (MAS...
