Abstract: The World Health Organization recently lowered the rifampin (RIF) critical concentration (CC) for drug-susceptibility testing (DST) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) using the mycobacterial growth indicator tube (MGIT) 960 system. Here, we evaluated the diagnostic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.00223-22
Abstract: Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has profoundly transformed the perspectives of tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis, providing a better discriminatory power to determine relatedness between Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) isolates. Previous genotyping approaches, such as spoligotyping consisting of an… read more here.
