Targeted sequencing from cerebrospinal fluid for rapid identification of drug-resistant tuberculous meningitis
11 Mar 2024
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Mortality from tuberculous meningitis (TBM) remains around 30%, with most deaths occurring within 2 months of starting treatment. Mortality from drug-resistant strains is higher still, making early detection of drug resistance (DR) essential. Targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) produces high read depths, allowing the detection of DR-associated alleles with low frequencies. We applied Deeplex...
