Abstract

The rise of drug-resistant tuberculosis poses a severe danger to the global effort to eradicate tuberculosis (DR-TB). Delays in the application of drug susceptibility testing (DST) based on culture led to extended durations of treatment failure and persistent tuberculosis transmission. This article's objective is to give a summary of the several rapid molecular drug susceptibility tests that have proven helpful in promptly identifying DR-TB cases, enabling prompt and efficient treatment of those individuals.
