Rifampicin drug resistance tests for tuberculosis: challenging the gold standard Institute of Tropical Medicine
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 ...
The simple direct slide method is comparable to indirect Lowenstein Jensen proportion culture for detecting rifampicin resistant tuberculosis Institute of Tropical Medicine
Introduction. Drug resistant tuberculosis remains a worldwide problem that requires prompt diagnosis.
Hypothesis/Gap statement. The WHO recommended direct, rapid Xpert MTB/RIF is prohibitively costly, therefore, there is a need to validate a rapid, affordable DST for use in low-and middle-income settings.
Aim. The technical performance and time to results of a simple, direct microscopy -based slide DST (SDST) assay for ...
