Abstract excerpt

India accounts for about one-fourth of the global burden of MDR-TB. This study aims to assess the prevalence and factors associated with tuberculosis drug resistance among patients from South India. MTBDRplus assay and MGIT liquid culture performed on 20,245 sputum specimens obtained from presumptive MDR-TB cases during a six-year period from 2013 to 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. Univariate and...
