Drug resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) remains a global health problem. The diagnosis, treatment, and management of DR-TB are the major challenges to Vietnam National Tuberculosis Control Program. One of the most important solutions for overcoming this problem is developing reliable and low-cost methods, which have been proposed to Drug Susceptibility Testing (DST) to detect drug resistant tuberculosis. The methods have to be reasonably simple so that they can be widely used in provincial Lung hospitals. Thus, our team conducted this study with the aim to apply the Resazurin Microtiter Assay (REMA) as drug susceptibility testing for detecting rate of phenotyphic isoniazid- (INH) and/or rifampicin- (RIF) resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) isolates in central Vietnam. |
