Direct detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis rifampin resistance in bio-safe stained sputum smears
Direct smear microscopy of sputum forms the mainstay of TB diagnosis in resource-limited settings. Stained sputum smear slides can serve as a ready-made resource to transport sputum for molecular drug susceptibility testing. However, bio-safety is a major concern during transport of sputum/stained s...
