Abstract

We recently described the utility of the “TB Concentration & Transport” kit for biosafe, ambient temperature transport of dried sputum on Trans-Filter, and the “TB DNA Extraction” kit for DNA extraction from Trans-Filter for the early diagnosis of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB). This study aimed to assess the feasibility and compatibility of these kits with line probe assay (LPA) under National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (NTEP) settings.
