Abstract excerpt
Introduction. This study underscores the critical role of identifying heteroresistant infections of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in enhancing the diagnostics of tuberculosis (TB). These conditions complicate diagnostics and treatment, underlining the need for advanced techniques to detect and characterize resistant populations effectively.Hypothesis/Gap statement. Current diagnostics may fail to identify...
