Evaluation of Xpert <sup>®</sup> MTB/XDR test for susceptibility testing of <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> to first and second-line drugs in Uganda

2023-04-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis (DR-TB) is one of the key challenges toward TB control. There is an urgent need for rapid and accurate drug susceptibility tests (DST) for the most commonly used 1 st and 2 nd line TB drugs. <h4>Design and Methods</h4> In a blinded, laboratory-based cross-sectional study, we set out to validate the performance of the Xpert ® MTB/XDR test for DST of M. tubercul...
