Official Title: Global Consortium for Drug-resistant Tuberculosis Diagnostics
Brief Summary: The goal of this study is to evaluate time to diagnosis for three assays (line probe, pyrosequencing, and Microscopic Observation Drug Susceptibility Assay [MODS]) to detect resistance to first and second-line anti-tuberculosis (TB) drugs in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) strains in 7 days or less, allowing for rapid diagnosis of extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB).
