TL;DR: It is found that standard strain has lower MIC value for the drugs including streptomycin and rifampin compared to the clinical isolate, and presume that the increase of the gene expression in the clinical strains is due to the exposure of antituberculosis drugs during treatment of patients, which cause constitutive expression of efflux systems, which might increase MIC levels of the major anti-tuber tuberculosis drugs.
