Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (DST) is considered the gold standard for detecting linezolid (LZD) resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), but it is time-consuming. Nanopore sequencing offers a potentially faster alternative approach. This study evaluated the agreement between phenotypically detected LZD resistance and mutations in the rrl and rplC genes of MTB isolates using nanopore...
