Eligible for the shorter regimen
 Criterion 180 (71.4%)
 Criterion 256 (50.0%)
 Criterion 350 (44.6%)

Criterion 1: eligible if no resistance to fluoroquinolones and injectables, and no katG or inhA mutations; criterion 2: eligible as per criterion 1 plus no resistance to ethambutol; criterion 3: eligible as per criterion 2 but no katG mutation (see text for details). #: the denominators vary as not necessarily all 112 strains underwent testing for all the drugs due to lack of reagents.
