Abstract excerpt
The continued use of pyrazinamide in the treatment of tuberculosis in the absence of a rapid, accurate and standardized pyrazinamide drug susceptibility assays is of great concern. While whole genome sequencing holds promise, it is not yet feasible option in low resource settings as it requires expensive instruments and bioinformatic analysis. We investigated the diagnostic performance of a closed-tube...
