Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Rifampicin (RIF), one of the first line drug in treatment of tuberculosis. It acts on rpoB gene which encodes RNA polymerase β subunit. In 95% of RIF resistant cases, mutations are present in rpoB gene. Most of them are within 81bp RIF-resistance determining region (RRDR).Xpert MTB/RIF assay has been tremendously revolutionalised the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB).Also sequencially detect bacteria and...
