Abstract excerpt
Extensively drug-resistant (XDR) tuberculosis (TB) cannot be easily or quickly diagnosed. We developed a rapid, automated assay for the detection of XDR-TB plus resistance to the drug isoniazid (INH) for point-of-care use. Using a simple filter-based cartridge with an integrated sample processing function, the assay identified a wide selection of wild-type and mutant sequences associated with XDR-TB directly from...
