Abstract excerpt
A rapid and accurate diagnostic assay represents an important means to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis, identify drug-resistant strains and ensure treatment success. Currently employed techniques to diagnose drug-resistant tuberculosis include slow phenotypic tests or more rapid molecular assays that evaluate a limited range of drugs. Whole-genome-sequencing-based approaches can detect known...
