The study results revealed that the most frequent mutation occurs in the region of probe E and the least common mutations at probe A and C among both Beijing and non-Beijing RR-TB cases. This first insight into the probe mutation variation and frequencies among the RR-TB cases in Bangladesh forms the baseline information for further investigation.
