Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Timely drug resistance detection is essential to global tuberculosis management. Unfortunately, rapid molecular tests assess resistance to only a few drugs, with culture required for comprehensive susceptibility test results. METHODS: We evaluated targeted next generation sequencing (tNGS) for tuberculosis on 40 uncultured sputum samples. Resistance profiles from tNGS were compared with profiles from...
