High Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacillary loads detected by tuberculosis molecular bacterial load assay in patient stool : a potential alternative for nonsputum diagnosis and treatment response monitoring of tuberculosis
Musisi, Emmanuel; Sessolo, Abdul; Kaswabuli, Sylvia; Zawedde, Josephine; Byanyima, Patrick; Kasiinga, Shariifah; Sanyu, Ingvar; Uwimaana, Esther; Walimbwa, Stanley; Ola, Joseph; Ssengooba, Willy; Sekaggya, Christine; Joloba, Moses L.; Worodria, William; Huang, Laurence; Gillespie, Stephen Henry; Sloan, Derek James; Sabiiti, Wilber (2022-02-23) - Journal articleNot all patients produce sputum, yet most available TB tests use sputum. We investigated the utility of a novel RNA-based quantitative test, the tuberculosis molecular bacterial load assay (TB-MBLA), for the detection and ... -
