Evaluation of the Roche cobas MTB and MTB-RIF/INH Assays in Samples from Germany and Sierra Leone [Mycobacteriology and Aerobic Actinomycetes]

In conclusion, cobas MTB and MTB-RIF/INH assays provide accurate detection of MTBC DNA and resistance-associated mutations in respiratory samples. The influence of regional variations in the prevalence of resistance-conferring mutations requires further investigation.
