Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Molecular methods for the detection of drug-resistant tuberculosis are potentially more rapid than conventional culture-based drug susceptibility testing, facilitating the commencement of appropriate treatment for patients with drug resistant tuberculosis. We aimed to develop and evaluate high-resolution melting (HRM) assays for the detection of mutations within gyrA, rpsL, and rrs, for the...
