28 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Multidrug- and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB and XDR- TB) threaten local and global control of the disease. The molecular line-probe assay (LPA) provides rapid diagnosis and early management of MDR-TB. The LPA detects mutations of katG and inhA genes associated with isoniazid (INH) resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates. The katG and inhA genes are associated with high-...
