Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Performance of Genotype MTBDRplus assay against Lowenstein Jensen (LJ) proportion method of Drug Susceptibility Testing (DST) in detection of resistance among clinical mycobacteria isolates to rifampicin (RMP) and isoniazid (INH) was evaluated in Ilorin, Nigeria. METHODS: This retrospective study characterized one hundred mycobacteria isolates from pulmonary TB patients, stored on LJ medium and...
