Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Rapidly detecting drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is essential for effective tuberculosis (TB) treatment. We have developed a one-tube nested fluorescence melting curve assay (OTN-FMCA) that allows rapid and simultaneous detection of resistance to rifampicin, isoniazid, fluoroquinolones, and bedaquiline. RESULTS: The OTN-FMCA uses nested PCR and locked nucleic acid (LNA)-modified...
