Oudghiri et al. 2018 [26]70322119419890PCR and DNA sequencing (performed only for MDR: 90)DNA was prepared from scraped colonies suspended in distilled water, followed by heat inactivation846 MDR isolates contained no mutations in the sequenced region (157 bp)
DNA was immediately used or stored at −20°C until use

Karimi et al. 2018 [27]7019131226GenoType® MTBDRplus V2.0 (performed for all resistant strains: 51)The assay was applied on direct sputum specimens and on culture isolates474 (1 INHR and 3 RIFR) phenotypically resistant strains did not exhibit any mutation using GenoType® MTBDRplus assay

Ennassiri et al. 2017 [28]319172319107GenoType® MTBDRplus V2.0 (performed for RIFR and MDR: 116)The assay was performed on isolates after solid culture or directly on decontaminated sputum specimens9818 RIFR samples were missing wild-type probes with no gain in mutation probes

Bentaleb et al. 2017 [29]672245qPCR-HRM (120 pb) (performed for RIFR strains: 45)DNA was extracted and purified using QIAamp DNA mini kit according to the manufacturer’s protocol405 RIFR strains contained no mutation in the rpoB amplified region and were classified as phenotypically RIF-resistant isolates
DNA was stored at −20°C until use

Chaoui et al. 2014 [24]500346154RIFO (performed for RIFR strains: 154)DNA was prepared from scraped colonies suspended in 1x TE buffer, followed by heat inactivation14014 RIFR isolates that were phenotypically resistant did not exhibit any point mutation in the hot-spot region of the rpoB gene
DNA was stored at −20°C until use

Zakham et al. 2013 [25]13394101811PCR and DNA sequencing (performed for all resistant strains: 39)Specimens decontaminated by N-acetyl-l-cysteine were first thawed and centrifuged. For each specimen, the pellet was treated by heat shock336 (3 INHR, 1 RIFR, and 2 MDR) strains did not exhibit any point mutation in the amplified regions (rpoB and katG genes and inhA promoter region)
DNA was immediately used or stored at −20°C until use
