Abstract excerpt
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health challenge, exacerbated by the emergence of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. Most methods for drug susceptibility testing (DST) are culture-dependent and time consuming, possibly delaying optimal TB-treatment. This study aimed to develop an extensive targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) approach for rapid genotypic DST directly from clinical...
