Molecular Detection of Multi-drug resistant tuberculosis in clinical isolates from two urban centres in Malawi

2024-09-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> Suboptimal chemotherapy allows Mycobacterium tuberculosis to develop drug resistance owing to development of resistant mutants in the mycobacterial population. Early diagnosis of TB and identification of drug-resistance is of particular importance in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals, as delay of therapy and subsequent development of drug-resistant TB can be devastating...
