Abstract
= 0.029). To conclude, we have developed a novel molecular diagnostic with promising detection capabilities of TB and RIF susceptibility. In addition, the discordant RIF susceptibility results between InnowaveDX and Xpert are more frequently observed in samples with very low bacterial load.
