Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Conventional Mouse foot-pad (MFP) assay for screening drug resistance in M. leprae is cumbersome and time-consuming (approximately 6 to 12 months). Molecular targets for different anti-leprosy drugs have been well defined. Molecular tools for rapid detection of drug resistance in M. leprae have been standardised. A study to compare molecular methods with MFP assay in determining the drug...
