Gene-Based Diagnosis of Tuberculosis from Oral Swabs with a New Generation Pathogen Enrichment Technique

ABSTRACT A rapid and sensitive diagnosis is crucial for the management of tuberculosis (TB). A simple and label-free approach via homobifunctional imidoesters with a microfluidic platform (SLIM) assay showed a higher sensitivity than the Xpert MTB/RIF assay in the diagnosis of pulmonary TB (PTB). He...
