Abstract excerpt
Regardless of a plethora of advanced diagnostics, TB and drug resistance remains a principal killer. We proposed gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) attached with probes to enhance the efficiency of GeneXpert MTB/RIF assay instead of conventional dye probes for molecular detection. A total of 15,000 samples were collected from TB suspects and subjected to Xpert MTB/RIF assay, where 6800 (45.3%) were detected as MTB...
