Note: — represented no base mutation by comparing with the corresponding sequences of M129 that NCBI has registered; 1, 19, 75, 147, 216, 221, 223, 246, 255, 262, 277, 340, and 355 were all clinically isolated resistant strains, while 371, MEN 20, MEN 29, and MEN 30 were the sensitive strains. M129 and FH were the standard strains and MP gene sequences registered in NCBI gene bank were based on M129.
