Effectiveness of Xpert MTB/RIF and the Line Probe Assay tests for the rapid detection of drug-resistant tuberculosis in the Central African Republic.
The Xpert MTB/RIF and Line Probe Assay (LPA) tests are more and more frequently used in mycobacteria testing laboratories for the rapid diagnosis of multi-drug resistance (MDR-TB). In this study, we demonstrate the effectiveness of these tests in the Central African Republic. Rifampicin resistance c...
