Abstract excerpt
Introduction. The discordance between phenotypic and molecular methods of rifampicin (RIF) drug susceptibility testing (DST) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis poses a significant challenge, potentially resulting in misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.Hypothesis/gap statement. A comparison of RIF phenotypic and molecular methods for DST, including whole genome sequencing (WGS), may provide a better understanding...
