Highly Sensitive Detection of Isoniazid Heteroresistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis by DeepMelt Assay
8 Nov 2017
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Detection of heteroresistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis remains challenging using current genotypic drug susceptibility testing methods. Here, we described a melting curve analysis-based approach, termed DeepMelt, that can detect less-abundant mutants through selective clamping of the wild type in mixed populations. The singleplex DeepMelt assay detected 0.01% katG S315T in 10 5 M. tuberculosis...
