Rapid Detection of Rifampicin- and Isoniazid-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis using TaqMan allelic discrimination
Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a global problem that many countries are challenging with. Rapid and accurate detection of MDR-TB is critical for appropriate treatment and controlling of TB. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the TaqMan allelic discrimination without minor groove binder (MGB) for rapid, efficient and low-cost method for detection of drug resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
