Abstract excerpt
Rifampicin resistance continues to pose a challenge to successful tuberculosis (TB) control, mainly driven by mutations in the rpoB gene of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Although most diagnostic tools, such as Xpert MTB/RIF, Xpert Ultra, and line probe assays, focus on the standard 81-bp rifampicin resistance-determining region (RRDR), recent findings emphasize the critical role of non-RRDR mutations in the...
