Table 2

Conventional phenotypic DST for detection of RIF and INH resistance.

Susceptibility	Number of isolates ()
	Genotype MTBDRplus (%)	LJ proportion DST (%)
RIF monoresistant	6 (11.1)	8 (14.8)
INH monoresistant	4 (7.4)	5 (9.2)
MDR-TB (resistant to RIF and INH)	28 (51.8)	30 (55.5)
Susceptible to RIF and INH	16 (29.6)	11 (20.3)

^*DST: drug susceptibility testing; RIF: rifampicin; INH: isoniazid.
