Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genotypic methods for detecting antimicrobial resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) typically require expensive instrumentation, limiting their accessibility in peripheral and resource-limited settings. Rifampicin resistance is a key marker of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and is primarily caused by mutations in the rpoB gene. Rapid, cost-effective, and minimally instrumented...
