The detection of mixed tuberculosis infections using culture filtrate and resuscitation promoting factor deficient filtrate

The detection of mixed tuberculosis infections using culture filtrate and resuscitation promoting factor deficient filtrate

Tuberculosis (TB) infected individuals harbor a heterogenous population of differentially culturable tubercle bacilli (DCTB). Herein, we describe how DCTB assays using culture filtrate either containing or deficient in resuscitation promoting factors can uncover mixed infections. We demonstrate that...
