Introduction: the loss of parenchymal brain volume per normative age comparison is a distinctive feature of brain atrophy. While the condition is the most prevalent to elderly, it has also been observed in pediatric ages. ...
TB or not TB? Definitive determination of species within the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex in unprocessed sputum from adults with presumed multidrug-resistant tuberculosis
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2021-06-09)
objectives Differences among Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) species may predict
drug resistance or treatment success. Thus, we optimised and deployed the genotype MTBC assay
(gMTBC) to identify MTC to the species ...
