Pyrosequencing for Rapid Detection of Extensively Drug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Clinical Isolates and Clinical Specimens
28 Nov 2013
Abstract excerpt
Treating extensively drug-resistant (XDR) tuberculosis (TB) is a serious challenge. Culture-based drug susceptibility testing (DST) may take 4 weeks or longer from specimen collection to the availability of results. We developed a pyrosequencing (PSQ) assay including eight subassays for the rapid identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) and concurrent detection of mutations associated with...
