(2016) Comparison of Xpert MTB/RIF Assay and GenoType MTBDRplus Background DNA Probes for Detection of Mutations Associated with Rifampicin Resistance in Mycobacterium GeneXpert MTB/RIF (Xpert) and Genotype MTBDRplus (DRplus) are two World Health tuberculosis. PLoS ONE 11(4): e0152694. Organization (WHO) endorsed probe based molecular drug susceptibility testing (DST) doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0152694 methods for rapid diagnosis of drug resistant tuberculosis.
