Phage as a diagnostic – the use of phage in TB diagnosis

2001-06-19

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Rapid TB diagnosis and drug susceptibility testing is limited by the slow growth of the causative organism, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Effective and rapid methods for the detection and drug susceptibility testing of TB, that are suitable for implementation in low income countries, which bear the highest TB burden, are urgently needed for effective identification, treatment and control of the diseas...
