The complete catalase-peroxidase (katG) gene DNA sequence was determined for 15 strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with a wide range of susceptibility to isoniazid. Five of 9 strains with isoniazid MICs greater than or equal to 1.0 mu g/mL had one or more missense mutations and all 5 strains had a common G --> T transversion in codon 463, causing the replacement of arginine with leucine and the loss of an NciI or MspI restriction site. None of 6 strains with an isoniazid MIC leucine in codon 463 of the catalase-peroxidase gene occurs in a significant fraction (44.2%) of M. tuberculosis strains with isoniazid MICs greater than or equal to 1.0 mu g/mL.
