Abstract excerpt
(MTB) and drug resistance (DR). In this study, we explored the application of various clinical sample types for TB diagnosis and DR profiles. In comparison to the composite reference standard, the overall sensitivity values of culture, Xpert, metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS), and tNGS were 0.458, 0.614, 0.772, and 0.760, respectively. tNGS had sensitivity similar to mNGS, which had advantages over...
