Adaptation of the molecular bacterial load assay for real-time quantification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the clinical routine laboratory

ABSTRACT Rapid quantification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is important for monitoring bacterial load during treatment and in clinical studies. The molecular bacterial load assay detecting Mtb 16S ribosomal RNA (TB-MBLA) can quantify mycobacterial load within hours. As the...
