Abstract excerpt
Effective tuberculosis (TB) control is hindered by lack of rapid diagnostic tests for detection of drug-resistant TB (DR-TB). Use of molecular tools for rapid detection of multi-and extensively- DR-TB, could facilitate early initiation of appropriate anti-tubercular treatment (ATT) regimen thereby interrupting transmission. Understanding the urgent situation, we standardized and evaluated 4 individual multiplex...
