How well do routine molecular diagnostics detect rifampicin heteroresistance in <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> ?

2019-05-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Rifampicin heteroresistance – where rifampicin-resistant and -susceptible tuberculosis (TB) bacilli co-exist – may result in failed standard TB treatment and potential spread of rifampicin-resistant strains. Detection of rifampicin heteroresistance in routine rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) allows for patients to receive prompt and effective multidrug-resistant-TB treatment, and may improve rifamp...
