IS RESISTANCE TO ETHIONAMIDE AN EXTRAPOLATION OF OTHER FIRST AND SECOND LINE ANTI- TUBERCULOSIS DRUGS?
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Laboratory Research - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Drug Susceptibility profile of ethionamide and other first and second line anti tuberculosis drugs revealed no significant association, indicating the resistance towards ethionamide is the result of individual effect and not an extrapolation of other drug resistant phenotypes.
