Pyrosequencing for Rapid Molecular Detection of Rifampin and Isoniazid Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Strains and Clinical Specimens
4 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to evaluate a pyrosequencing method for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates resistant to rifampin and isoniazid using both clinical strains and clinical samples, comparing the results with those of the Bactec 460TB and GenoType MTBDRplus assays. In comparison to Bactec 460TB as the gold standard, the sensitivity of pyrosequencing for detecting isoniazid and rifampin...
