Abstract excerpt
The emergence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), resistant to both isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RIF) (MDR-TB), is an increasing threat to tuberculosis control programs. Susceptibility testing of Mtb complex isolates by phenotypic methods requires a minimum of 14 days from a primary specimen. This can be reduced significantly if molecular analysis is used. Low density oligonucleotide arrays (macroarrays) have...
