Rapid Identification of High-Prevalence Drug-Resistant Mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Using a Portable Colorimetric Array.

Abstract excerpt

The emergence and rise of drug-resistant mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) exacerbates the challenges of TB controlling and treatment. 95% of the TB-related deaths occurred in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where there is a lack of access to quality diagnostics for drug-resistant mutations. Here, we present an approach for rapid identification of 24 high-prevalence drug-resistant mutations...
