Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate GenoType MTBDRplus (Hain Lifescience, Germany) for its capacity to detect the resistance of rifampicin (RFP) and isoniazid (INH). METHOD: A total of 44 confirmed multi-drug resistant (MDR) and 67 susceptible M. tuberculosis strains were tested for susceptibility to RFP and INH by GenoType MTBDR plus. The core 81bp region of the rpoB gene and the 322bp region of the katG gene and the inhA...
