Abstract excerpt
Rapid detection of the second-line drug (SLD) resistant tuberculosis (TB) strains is challenging to prescribe an immediate adequate treatment and limit the transmission of SLD resistant strains. The study aimed to evaluate the performance of GenoType MTBDRsl V2.0 compared to phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (pDST:MGIT960) to detect resistance to SLD of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) isolates in Tunisia,...
