GU value of GC for all seven isolates was 400. GU value in PZA-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)
Inhibitory effect of Exo-MS and Exo-MS + PZA on seven PZA ^R isolates: The medium used was Middlebrook 7H9 broth, pH = 5.9 incubated at 37 °C for14 days in the MGIT instrument
