Transduction of Isoniazid Susceptibility-Resistance and Streptomycin Resistance in Mycobacteria

D Saroja 1, K P Gopinathan 1
PMCID: PMC444611  PMID: 4793884

Abstract

Transduction of resistance to isoniazid and streptomycin as well as susceptibility to isoniazid in Mycobacterium smegmatis SN2 has been demonstrated. A method has been described for the selection of isoniazid-susceptible variants after transduction of susceptibility.
