Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The use of rapid molecular assays for the detection of resistance to second-line drugs would significantly decrease the time delay in diagnosing drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) that is associated with conventional phenotypic drug susceptibility testing. In this study, multiplex allele-specific (MAS)-PCR assays designed to detect the GyrA D94G and rrs A1401G mutations were evaluated for detection of...
