Genomic factors associated with katG-S315T in Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates in Vietnam

Conclusions: We demonstrated that several genomic variations of the pathogen are associated with katG-S315T in common, and these genomic factors may be related to the low fitness cost of INH-resistant strains in Vietnam.
