Companion diagnostics allow for rapid and reliable testing for fluoroquinolone, second-line injectable drugs and isoniazid resistance
Geneva, Switzerland – 11 October 2017 – One of the targets of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 is to end the tuberculosis (TB) epidemic, which demands a global effort to tackle the rise of multi-drug resistant TB (MDR TB) and extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB). MDR-TB is TB that is resistant to the first-line drugs isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RIF), and XDR-TB is MDR-TB that has developed additional resistance to a fluoroquinolone and any of the injectable compounds used.
