Diagnostic value of a nanopore sequencing assay of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in pulmonary tuberculosis

Abstract Background To determine the diagnostic accuracy of a nanopore sequencing assay of PCR products from a M. tuberculosis complex-specific region for testing of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples or sputum samples from suspected pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients and compare the res...
