Mycobacteriology and Aerobic ActinomycetesLaboratory Evaluation of a Lateral-Flow Cell for Molecular Detection of First-Line and Second-Line Antituberculosis Drug ResistanceDespite the WHO’s call for universal drug susceptibility testing for all patients being evaluated for tuberculosis (TB), a lack of rapid diagnostic tests which can fully describe TB resistance patterns is a major challenge in ensuring that all persons diagnosed with drug-resistant TB are started on an appropriate treatment regime. We evaluated the accuracy of the Akonni Biosystems XDR-TB TruArray and lateral-flow cell (XDR-LFC), a novel...
BacteriologyHelicobacter pylori Infections in the Bronx, New York: Surveying Antibiotic Susceptibility and Strain Lineage by Whole-Genome SequencingThe emergence of drug resistance in Helicobacter pylori has resulted in a greater need for susceptibility-guided treatment. While the alleles associated with resistance to clarithromycin and levofloxacin have been defined, there are limited data regarding the molecular mechanisms underlying resistance to other antimicrobials. Using...
