Evaluation of the TB-Biochip Oligonucleotide Microarray System for Rapid Detection of Rifampin Resistance in <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>
1 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
The TB-Biochip oligonucleotide microarray system is a rapid system to detect mutations associated with rifampin (RIF) resistance in mycobacteria. After optimizing the system with 29 laboratory-generated rifampin-resistant mutants of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, we evaluated the performance of this test using 75 clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. With this small sample set, the TB-Biochip system...
