A new droplet digital PCR assay: improving detection of paucibacillary smear-negative pulmonary tuberculosis
21 Jul 2022
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Smear-negative pulmonary TB (PTB) is difficult to diagnose. Current diagnosis and treatment monitoring methods have inherent limitations. Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) is a new technique with high sensitivity. This study presents a novel ddPCR for rapid and sensitive identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). METHODS: MTB DNA was detected in respiratory specimens from suspected PTB cases using...
