embB306 mutants were detected in both ethambutol (EMB)-resistant and EMB-susceptible strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains had a higher proportion of embB306 mutants than non-MDR strains (odds ratio, 6.78; P < 0.001). The embB306 locus is a candidate marker for rapid detection of MDR and extremely drug resistant tuberculosis.
在结核分枝杆菌的耐乙胺丁醇(EMB)菌株和对EMB敏感的菌株中均检测到embB306突变体。耐多药(MDR)菌株中embB306突变体的比例高于非MDR菌株(优势比,6.78;P<0.001)。embB306基因座是快速检测耐多药和广泛耐药结核病的候选标志物。
