Abstract excerpt
Prediction of susceptibility to pyrazinamide (PZA) directly from sputum has been challenging. The MeltPro MTB/PZA assay, based on melting curve analysis, can simultaneously detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the resistance to PZA from sputum. We aimed to evaluate the MeltPro MTB/PZA assay to predict PZA resistance among rifampin-resistant tuberculosis (RR-TB) patients. We prospectively enrolled RR-TB patients...
