Evaluation of the GenoType MTBDR sl Version 2.0 Assay for Second-Line Drug Resistance Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates in South Africa
5 Jan 2017
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Early detection of resistance to second-line antituberculosis drugs is important for the management of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). The GenoType MTBDR sl version 2.0 (VER 2.0) line probe assay has been redesigned for molecular detection of resistance-conferring mutations of fluoroquinolones (FLQ) ( gyrA and gyrB genes) and second-line injectable drugs (SLID) ( rrs and eis genes). The study...
