Feasibility of magnetic bead technology for concentration of mycobacteria in sputum prior to fluorescence microscopy
BACKGROUND: Direct sputum smear microscopy is the mainstay of TB diagnosis in most low and middle income countries, and is highly specific for Mycobacterium tuberculosis in such settings. However it is limited by low sensitivity, particularly in HIV co-infected patients. Concentration by centrifugat...
