Abstract excerpt
The quantitative detection of drug-resistance mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is critical for determining the drug resistance status of a sample. We developed a drop-off droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) assay targeting all major isoniazid (INH)-resistant mutations. The ddPCR assay consisted of three reactions: reaction A detects mutations at katG S315; reaction B detects inhA promoter mutations; and...
