Targeted Next Generation Sequencing (tNGS) for detection of drug-resistant tuberculous meningitis: Is this sequencing technology ready for prime time?

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is the most severe form of tuberculosis (TB). Difficulty in diagnosing the condition along with other factors, increases its potential for high morbidity and mortality. Targeted Next Generation Sequencing (tNGS) generates high quality sequence read depths, enabling the identification of low-frequency alleles linked to Drug resistance (DR). The paucibacillary nature of...
