A Novel Molecular Strategy for Surveillance of Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis in High Burden Settings.

A Novel Molecular Strategy for Surveillance of Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis in High Burden Settings.

In South Africa and other high prevalence countries, transmission is a significant contributor to rising rates of multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Thus, there is a need to develop an early detection system for transmission clusters suitable for high burden settings. We have evaluated the d...
