Table 2 Drug susceptibilities of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from index case (IC) and household contact (HC) cases in the Philippines

Susceptibilities are reported in μg/mL.
Abbreviations: INH – isoniazid, RIF – rifampin, EMB – ethambutol, PZA – pyrazinamide, STR – streptomycin, CAP – capreomycin, KAN – kanamycin, AMI – amikacin, ETH – ethionamide, CYC – cycloserine, PAS – para-aminosalicylic acid; R – resistant, S – susceptible.
^aWith the exception of PZA, susceptibility for all drugs was performed by the 1% indirect agar proportion method. PZA susceptibility was performed on the VersaTREK (TREK Diagnostics, Cleveland, OH).
