Evaluation of the Simple One-Step (SOS) stool method for Truenat MTB plus and Xpert MTB/XDR assay Open
Stool is a recommended sample for the diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) using Xpert MTB/RIF (Ultra) (GXU) in children, and the Simple One-Step (SOS) stool method is one of the recommended processing methods. We investigated mod…

Second-line drug resistance markers as proxy indicators of time to sputum culture conversion among second-line drug resistant tuberculosis patients tested in Uganda: A cross-sectional study Open
Background Increased tuberculosis disease burden arises as a result of low treatment success rates stemming from the emergence of second-line drug resistance. We aimed at determining the usefulness of second-line drug (SLD) resistance mark…
