Abstract

All of the 104 strains isolated from tuberculosis patients in Sidamo Regional Hospital were identified as M. tuberculosis. Primary single drug resistance to isoniazid and streptomycin was represented by two strains in each case. Four strains showed double drug resistance to the same drugs. None were resistant to thiacetazone, rifampicin and ethambutol.
