Automatic Identification of Individual rpoB Gene Mutations Responsible for Rifampin Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis by Use of Melting Temperature Signatures Generated by the Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra Assay

Abstract excerpt

single and double mutations. Our analytical approach showed a great potential for fast RRDR mutation identification and may also be used as a stand-alone method for ruling out relapse or transmission between patients. The algorithm can be further modified and optimized for higher accuracy as more Ultra data become available.
