A rapid, accurate, and low-cost method for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis and its drug-resistant genes in pulmonary tuberculosis: Applications of MassARRAY DNA mass spectrometry

Abstract

MassARRAY can obtain base mutation information and identify heteroresistance infections simultaneously when the mutant proportion was at least 5-25%. It has good application prospects in the diagnosis of DR-TB with high throughput, accurate and low-cost.
