Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The WHO has recommended the implementation of rapid diagnostic tests to detect and help combat M/XDR tuberculosis (TB). There are limited data on the performance and impact of these tests in field settings. METHODS: The performance of the commercially available Genotype MTBDRplus mole...
