Abstract excerpt
Proper management of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) requires accurate drug susceptibility testing (DST) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates to other (ethambutol [EMB], pyrazinamide, and streptomycin [SM]) first-line drugs. This study compared the performance of Mycobacterium Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT) 960 system for DST of MDR-TB isolates with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) sequencing of embB,...
