The diagnostic utility of line probe assays for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis [PDF]

Pathogens and Global Health, 2016
Owing to the burden of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, molecular techniques have been approved by the WHO for the rapid diagnosis of the same. The objectives of this prospective, diagnostic study, conducted at Christian Medical College, a tertiary care center in South India, were to compare the performance of line probe assay (GenoTypeMTBDRplus) with
