Rapid and economical drug resistance profiling with Nanopore MinION for clinical specimens with low bacillary burden of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
18 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We designed and tested a Nanopore sequencing panel for direct tuberculosis drug resistance profiling. The panel targeted 10 resistance-associated loci. We assessed the feasibility of amplifying and sequencing these loci from 23 clinical specimens with low bacillary burden. RESULTS: At least 8 loci were successfully amplified from the majority for predicting first- and second-line drug resistance...
