Tuberculosis (TB) is a global health threat complicated by increasing INH resistance (INH-R) and rifampicin resistance (RIF-R), including RIF-R due to rpoB Ile491Phe (I491F) mutations, which are not detected by current molecular resistance tests. We developed a low-complexity automated nucleic acid amplification test MDRmDx, designed to operate on the 10-color GeneXpert instrument, which detects Mycobacterium...
