Abstrakt: ABSTRACTThe molecular characterizations of the first 40 Mycobacterium tuberculosisisolates from Chad revealed a high proportion of isolates of the Cameroon family (33%), of which one isolate showed a monodrug resistance. In total, 9/33 (27%) isolates were resistant to isoniazid. The implications of these findings are discussed.
