  1. GU value of GC for all ten isolates was 400. GU value in INH- and RIF-containing medium for all isolates was also 400. R resistant, S susceptible. If the GU value of the drug-containing tube is ≥100, the interpretation is Resistant by the MGIT instrument. If the GU value of the drug tube is <100, the interpretation is Susceptible (n = no. of isolates susceptible)
  2. Inhibitory effect of DFO-B, DFO-B + INH, DFO-B + RIF on ten different clinical isolates of MDR-Mtb (INH-, RIF- and PZA-resistant). The medium used was Middlebrook 7H9 broth, pH = 7 incubated at 37 °C for 14 days in the MGIT instrument
