Fig. 1 (a) Design of the multiplex allele-specific PCR for the detection of the Ile491Phe rpoB rifampicin-resistance mutation. The rpoB_I491_F primer is specific to the wild-type profile, whereas the rpoB_F and rpoB_R primers are universal. (b) Results: the method allowed the correct identification of the rpoB Ile491Phe mutation among the 39/78 rifampicin-resistant strains.
