Challenging the gold standard: the limitations of molecular assays for detection of<i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>heteroresistance Open
Objectives Heteroresistant infections are defined as infections in which a mixture of drug-resistant and drug-susceptible populations are present. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M. tb ), heteroresistance poses a challenge in diagnosis and…

Challenging the gold standard: critical limitations in clinical detection of drug-resistant tuberculosis Open
Heteroresistant infections - defined as infections in which minority drug-resistant (DR) populations are present - are a challenge in infectious disease control. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis , heteroresistance poses challenges in diagnosi…
