Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are key components of World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended regimens for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Accurate detection of FQ resistance is essential for optimizing treatment. This study evaluated the concordance between the Second-Line Line Probe Assay (SL-LPA) and Liquid Culture Drug Susceptibility Testing (LC-DST) for detecting FQ resistance in...
