Synopsis: 
Fast detection of susceptibility to ethambutol drug is possible by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The embB306 locus is a candidate marker for rapid prediction of high resistance to anti-tuberculosis drugs for multidrug and extensively drug resistant forms of tuberculosis.

 ABSTRACT

Introduction: The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was employed for rapid detection of ethambutol (EMB) resistant clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
