“…Mutation in the InhA gene was found to be 41.7% which was similar to the findings of the previous studies [23]. In contrast to our findings, other studies have reported low prevalence (5.4-21.1%) [23,[27][28][29][30][31]. In isoniazid hetero-resistant strains mutation S315T1 and S315T2 in the katG gene were equally prevalent however, variations have been reported in studies [23,27,31,32].…”

“…In line with our finding, this mutation (Ser531 ! Leu) was detected among rifampicin-resistant strains varying from 47% to 70.5% in various studies [23,[27][28][29][30]. The katG gene mutations account for the commonest mechanism of resistance for isoniazid.…”

“…Nearly 100,000 cases of serious multi-drug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) are estimated to occur in the country annually, and each MDR TB case costs more than 1 lakh to diagnose and treat. (Singh et al,2014) The incidence:prevalence ratio in India is about 1:32. In case an efficient tuberculosis programme, targeting a sufficient number of sputum-positive prevalence cases in the community, is run for a sufficiently long period of time, it could bring down the prevalence, till probably the point when incidence and prevalence become equal in the community (NACO India, 2012).…”

“…According to the foreign author's researches, test system GenoType MTBDRplus, v.2 has high sensitivity, specificity, predictive value of positive and negative results allows to get results in the first 2 days of inspection, thereby increasing the efficiency of diagnosis chemo-resistant forms of tuberculosis [3,6,7,9,10]. But these researches regarding method`s sensitivity and specificity are different, there is a small amount of national investigations relating to the application GenoType MTBDRplus, v.2 method in the diagnosis of tuberculosis, this resulted in the necessity of our own research.…”
