SETTING: Pham Ngoc Thach Hospital for Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases, the tertiary referral hospital for tuberculosis (TB) in Southern Vietnam. OBJECTIVE: To develop and evaluate a simple, rapid and accurate multiplex allele specific polymerase chain reaction (MAS-PCR) test to detect rifampicin (RMP) resistance point mutations at codons 516, 526 or 531 in the rpoB gene of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. DESIGN: The novel MAS-PCR was compared with the commercial M. tuberculosis Drug Resistance (MT...
