The remaining four strains carried no variants (Groups 1\u20133) linked to INH resistance. No significant difference in the prevalence of high-level INH resistance was observed between lineage 2 and lineage 4 strains (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">\u03c7<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00b2 = 0.232,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.630). Our findings indicate that the variants classified as \u201cuncertain significance\u201d may be the main genetic determinants causing discordant results, highlighting their associations with INH resistance that need to be further investigated.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>IMPORTANCE<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This study addresses a critical challenge in drug susceptibility testing (DST): the discrepancies in DST results for isoniazid (INH) between the Bactec MGIT 960 system and the GenoType MTBDR\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">plus<\/jats:italic>\n                      assay. These discordant results significantly complicate treatment decisions, potentially leading to suboptimal patient outcomes.

Our findings showed that only a small fraction of strains carried variants definitively linked to INH resistance, while a larger number harbored variants of uncertain significance across multiple genes, underscoring the complexity of INH resistance mechanisms. This study highlights the urgent need to refine our understanding of these \u201cGroup 3: uncertain significance\u201d variants, as they appear to be a primary driver of the discrepancies. Additionally, this study emphasizes the importance of integrating advanced sequencing tools into DST to improve the accuracy of INH resistance detection.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1128\/spectrum.01101-25","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,1]],"date-time":"2025-10-01T13:00:13Z","timestamp":1759323613000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Discrepancies in isoniazid susceptibility profiles: Bactec MGIT 960-resistant but GenoType MTBDR\n                    <i>plus<\/i>\n                    -susceptible\n                    <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis<\/i>\n                    strains in Hunan, China"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-7183-5262","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhenhua","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Laboratory, Hunan Chest Hospital","place":["Changsha, People's Republic of China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peilei","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Laboratory, Hunan Chest Hospital","place":["Changsha, People's Republic of China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jingwei","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Laboratory, Hunan Chest Hospital","place":["Changsha, People's Republic of China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jue","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Laboratory, Hunan Chest Hospital","place":["Changsha, People's Republic of China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9698-6991","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Binbin","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Laboratory, Hunan Chest Hospital","place":["Changsha, People's Republic of China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-1027-7059","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yunhong","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Laboratory, Hunan Chest Hospital","place":["Changsha, People's Republic of China"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0022927"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pmed.1003008"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jgar.2020.07.012"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.heliyon.2024.e29932"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/antibiotics13040378"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijmyco.2016.06.005"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0284737"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21037\/jtd.2019.01.58"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.coph.2018.05.013"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jac\/dkv253"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5588\/ijtld.11.0269"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.00472-13"},{"key":"e_1_3_5_14_2","unstructured":"World Health Organization. 2022.
