A sensitive, PCRbased system to test mycobacterial antibiotic susceptibility is one approach to this problem. We reasoned that a quantitative PCR could detect the growth of bacilli by detecting an increase in the amount of mycobacterial DNA. Inclusion of an eff

Quantification of M. tuberculosis DNA in Sputum During the Treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosismear to negative, or culture positive sputum to negative. AFB enumeration lacks sensitivity and specificity and the culture of . (MTB) bacteria can take weeks. Quantitative estimates of MTB DNA in sputum have been shown to correlate with numbers of viable bacilli before the onset of chemotherapy (.-

Detection of Viable , by Reverse Transcriptase-Strand Displacement Amplification of mRNA. Numerous systems have now been described for the amplification and detection of DNA or rRNA sequences that are specific for the . complex (.-.). While useful in reducing the amount of time required for definitive diagnosis, these techniques have not proved suitable for monitoring therapeutic effic
