Rifampin resistance missed in automated liquid culture system for mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates with specific rpoB mutations University of Antwerp
Newly developed primers for comprehensive amplification of the rpoB gene and detection of rifampin resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Institute of Tropical Medicine
Evaluation of direct detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis rifampin resistance by a nitrate reductase assay applied to sputum samples in Cotonou, Benin Institute of Tropical Medicine
Complete genome sequence of escherichia coli MT102, a plasmid-free recipient resistant to rifampin, azide, and streptomycin, used in conjugation experiments Vrije Universiteit Brussel
We present here the complete genome sequence of Escherichia coli MT102, which is resistant to rifampin, azide, and streptomycin and is used as a recipient in plasmid transfer experiments. The sequence will be utilized for chromosomal read removal in plasmid sequence analyses obtained from transconjugants within this strain and in comprehensive genetic studies.
Rifampicin susceptibility discordance between Xpert MTB/RIF G4 and Xpert Ultra before MDRT-TB treatment initiation: a case report from Uganda Institute of Tropical Medicine
Tuberculosis (TB) resistance to rifampicin, the most powerful drug leads to increase in mortality. Globally, half a million new patients develop such resistant TB each year, coupled with both inappropriate diagnosis and treatment initiation.
We report a case of rifampicin resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis whose rifampicin resistance was missed by Xpert MTB/RIF Assay G4 but detected by the Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra assay at different time ...
