Özet

Introduction: Phenotypic methods for drug susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) to second-line drugs are not yet standardized. The Sensititre MycoTB Plate is a microtiter plate containing lyophilized antibiotics and configured for determination of MIC to first and second-line anti-tuberculosis drugs. The purpose of this study is to detect the susceptibility rates of MTC strains isolated from patients' specimens for first and second-line anti-tuberculosis drugs.
