The Use of Molecular Genetic Diagnostic Tests to Improve MDR TB Treatment Outcomes in Arkhangelsk Region
The use of molecular genetic tests as a part of tuberculosis patients examination made it possible to reduce the time for TB diagnosis and determination of drug resistance (DR) of M. tuberculosis (MTB) in Arkhangelsk Region. Early detection of multiple drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB) made it po...

Effective treatment was documented more frequently (65.2%) in the MGT group versus the comparison group (44.8%).
