After publication of the above mentioned article, a revised Table 3 was provided and is included below. Furthermore, on page 203 under Section 4.3 Pyrazinamide, the sentence reading “Our study observed that around 60% of PZA-resistant strains had pncA gene mutations from positions 136 to 188, and although pncA is a small gene, mutations in
various positions of its structure have been found (Zhang and Mitchinson, 2003).”, should read, “Our study observed that around 60% of PZA-resistant strains had pncA gene mutations from positions 99 to 175, and although pncA is a small gene, mutations in various positions of its structure have been found (Zhang and Mitchinson, 2003).”
