Variation in pre-therapy levels of selected Mycobacterium tuberculosis transcripts in sputum and their relationship with 2-month culture conversion

2019-07-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> The abundance of transcripts arising from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in sputum pre-chemotherapy may enhance our understanding of factors influencing treatment response. We hypothesized that differences in the prevalence of pre-existing slowly metabolizing MTB in sputum may be partially responsible for differences in the rate of sputum clearance during treatment. <h4>Methods: </h4>: Qu...
