Direct Whole-Genome Sequencing of Sputum Accurately Identifies Drug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Faster than MGIT Culture Sequencing
31 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
from 43 sputum samples by targeted DNA enrichment using the Agilent SureSelectXT kit, and 43 MGIT positive samples from each participant. Thirty two (74%) sputum samples and 43 (100%) MGIT samples generated whole genomes. The times to antimicrobial resistance profiles and concordance were compared with Xpert MTB/RIF and phenotypic resistance testing from cultures of the same samples. Antibiotic susceptibility...
