Abstract excerpt
Although rapid, highly sensitive molecular diagnostics tests are useful for diagnosing fluoroquinolone-resistant tuberculosis (TB), results of molecular testing versus conventional sequential phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (pDST) are frequently discordant. This article determined the discordance rate of levofloxacin (LFX) resistance results, obtained via MeltPro TB molecular testing, versus pDST of...
