Comparative Performance of Line Probe Assay and GeneXpert in the Detection of Rifampicin Monoresistance in a TB-Endemic African Country

Comparative Performance of Line Probe Assay and GeneXpert in the Detection of Rifampicin Monoresistance in a TB-Endemic African Country

Rapid, accurate and reliable assays are required for timely detection of drug-resistant tuberculosis and early initiation of second-line TB treatment as well as to minimize transmission of resistant strains. This study assessed diagnostic performance characteristics of two rapid molecular assays, li...
