Feasibility of Direct Sputum Molecular Testing for Drug Resistance as Part of Tuberculosis Clinical Trials Eligibility Screening
A rapid diagnosis of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) is critical for early initiation of effective therapy. Molecular testing with line probe assays (MTBDR<i>plus</i> and MTBDR<i>sl</i>) on culture isolates has been available for some time and significantly reduces the time...
