ABSTRACT:
The embodiments of the invention are based upon the identification and characterization of genes that determine mycobacterial resistance to the antibiotic isoniazid (INH) and its analogs. These genes, termed inhA, encode a polypeptide, InhA, that is the target of action of mycobacteria for isoniazid. The sequences of wild-type INH-sensitive as well as allelic or mutant INH-resistant inhA genes and their operons are provided. Also provided are isolated InhA polypeptides of both the INH-resistant and INH-sensitive types.
