Targeted genome sequencing for tuberculosis drug susceptibility testing in South Africa: A proposed diagnostic pipeline
2024-02-02
Abstract excerpt
In July 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) began recommending targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS), due to its ability to detect resistance to many drugs with a single test. In March 2023, South Africa further adopted the GeneXpert® XDR cartridge, which detects mutations associated with resistance to second-line injectable drugs. Here, we consider the feasibility for implementing tNGS in South Africa,...
