When bacteria develop drug-resistant mutations, there is often an associated biological cost; however,
some strains can exhibit low- or no-cost mutations. In the present study, a quantitative resazurin
reduction assay ...

We validated the nitrate reductase assay (NRA) for the detection of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium
tuberculosis (MDR-TB) using sodium nitrate (NaNO3) in replacement of potassium nitrate (KNO3) as
nitrate source. NaNO3 ...
