Whole-Genome Sequencing for Predicting Clarithromycin Resistance in Mycobacterium abscessus
20 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
genes which was tested on a collection of 203 sequentially acquired clinical isolates for which there were paired genotype/phenotype data. A search for novel resistance-determining mutations was conducted using a heuristic algorithm. The sensitivity of existing knowledge for predicting resistance in clarithromycin was 95% (95% confidence interval [CI], 89 to 98%), and the specificity was 66% (95% CI, 54 to 76%)....
