Molecular characterization of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated from different hospitals in Kathmandu valley

摘要

Purpose: Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the deadliest and common major infectious diseases in developing and industrialized countries. Global TB control efforts have been severely hampered by the lack of diagnostic tests that are rapid, accurate, simple to use and can be applied at the point of clinical care. The aim of this study is to identify multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the tuberculosis patients through genotyping.
