Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Sputum samples were collected from tuberculosis patients in a high tuberculosis incidence area in the Western Cape, South Africa. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance and time to diagnosis of a genotypic drug susceptibility testing method. METHODOLOGY: During June 2000 and November 2003, a total of 1,540 samples were sent for drug susceptibility testing (DST) to the national health...
