Abstract excerpt
Sanger sequencing or DNA hybridization have been the primary modalities for hepatitis B (HBV) resistance testing and genotyping; however, there are limitations, such as low sensitivity and the inability to detect novel mutations. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) for HBV can overcome these limitations, but there is limited guidance for clinical microbiology laboratories to validate this novel technology. In this...
