Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is an increasing health problem worldwide, especially in developing countries. The PCR-UHG-Rif assay, which detects mutations within the rpoB gene associated with rifampin resistance, was evaluated for its ability and reliability to detect and identify drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a developing country where tuberculosis is highly endemic.
耐多药结核病在全球范围内正成为一个日益严重的健康问题,在发展中国家尤为如此。PCR-UHG-Rif检测法可检测与利福平耐药相关的rpoB基因内的突变,该检测法在结核病高度流行的一个发展中国家,就其检测和鉴定耐药结核分枝杆菌的能力及可靠性进行了评估。
