摘要：
To improve multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) detection, we successfully introduced the rpoB gene mutation line probe assay into the national laboratory in Latvia, a country with epidemic MDR-TB. The assay detected rifampin resistance with 91 % sensitivity and 96% specificity within 1 to 5 days (vs. 12-47 days for BACTEC).
