Performance of the low-cost phenotypic thin-layer agar MDR/XDR-TB Colour Test (first generation, 1G, Color Plate Test) for identifying drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates in a resource-limited setting

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background:</bold> The accessible, easy to use and timely, diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) drug-susceptibility, including multi-drug resistant (MDR-) TB and extensively-drug resistant (XDR-)TB is often challenging, particularly in resource-constrained settings. We therefore evaluated the phenotypic thin-layer agar based MDR/XDR-TB Colour Test, which is also referred to as the “Firs...
