Abstract excerpt
Accurate identification and genotypic drug resistance prediction in mycobacteria are essential for early diagnosis and appropriate clinical management. Targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS) detects multiple genetic targets and enables direct testing from primary specimens. We evaluated identification using the Deeplex Myc-TB assay for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) and nontuberculous mycobacteria...
