Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nucleic acid amplification tests are widely used in TB diagnostics. Priority tasks in their development consist of increasing the specificity and sensitivity of the detection of resistance to a wide spectrum of anti-TB drugs. METHODS: We developed a multiplexed assay allowing the detection of 116 drug resistance-determining mutations in the rpoB, katG, inhA, ahpC, gyrA, gyrB, rrs, eis and embB genes...
