First Line (FL) LPA
- Performed using GenoType MTBDR plus ver 2.0 kit
- GenoType MTBDR plus (Figure) identifies:
- Mutations in the Rif-resistance Determining Region (RRDR) of rpoB gene (from codon 505 to 533) to detect Rifampicin resistance
- Mutations in the inhA promoter (from -16 to -8 nucleotides upstream) and the katG (codon 315) regions to identify Isoniazid resistance.
