Rapid Detection of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) in Children with Acute Lower Respiratory Tract Infections: A Pilot Evaluation of an Immuno-Chromatographic Rapid Antigen Detection Method |
Background: Several methods have been proposed for rapid detection of drug resistance of Mycobacterium tuber-culosis (M. tuberculosis). High resolution melting (HRM) curve analysis has been developed for accurate and si-multaneous detection of resistance of M. tuberculosis isolates to rifampicin (RIF) and isoniazid (INH). Other tech-niques include the resazurin microtiter assay (REMA) which is one of the new colorimetric phenotypic methods. The present study evaluated the HRM curve analysis and REMA assay in comparison to the proportional method (PM) for rapid identification of multidrug resistant (MDR) M. tuberculosis isolates.
