The platform consisting of the Trueprep DNA extraction device and the Truelab micro-PCR machine runs the Truenat MTB Plus assay for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) and Truenat MTB-RIF Dx for detection of RIF resistance (collectively referred to as the Truenat MTB assays)....
Case rates vary widely by country, age, race, sex, and socioeconomic status. In 2020, two thirds of new cases occurred in 8 countries; most occurred in India (26%), followed by Indonesia (8.4%), China (8.5%), the Philippines (6.0%), Pakistan (5.8%), Nigeria (4.6%), Bangladesh (...
While substantial efforts have been made to improve the detection and effective treatment of patients suffering from drug resistant TB, the global burden of MDR-TB has not abated1. As MDR-TB epidemics may continue despite improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of drug susceptible TB (DS-TB...
From a global perspec- tive, efforts to recover levels of case detection achieved before the COVID-19 pandemic are of particular impor- tance in these countries. In many countries, there is also a need to increase the percentage of cases confirmed bacteriologically by scaling up the use of ...
[19] According to the US National TB Surveillance System (NTSS), between 1993 and 2006 a total of 49 cases (3% of evaluable MDR-TB cases) met the revised case definition for XDR-TB. The largest number of XDR-TB cases was found in New York City and California. Cure rate The cure ...
TB47 exhibits potent bactericidal activity with very low MIC and MBC againstM. ulcerans. Detection of MICs of TB47 againstM. ulceranson agar plates was repeated only once (duplicate but not triplicate), which may hinder potential reproducibility. However, We (1) used two strains (M. ulcerans...
However, due to the constraints such as weak infrastructure and the poverty, it is proved that many of TB sufferers do not have access to the TB services, resulting in still low case detection rate. It is for this reason that the NTP has decided to expand DOTS to health center and ...
