To analyze the molecular epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains at a hospital in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and mutations related to multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis, we conducted a prospective case-control study. Our findings reinforce the value of incorporating already standardized molecular methods for rapidly detecting resistance.
为了分析阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯一家医院的结核分枝杆菌菌株的分子流行病学,以及与耐多药和广泛耐药结核病相关的突变,我们进行了一项前瞻性病例对照研究。我们的研究结果证实了采用已经标准化的分子方法快速检测耐药性的价值。
