Abstract:

The World Health Organization released “Use of targeted next-generation sequencing to detect drug-resistant tuberculosis Rapid communication,2023” recently, in order to timely share the important data and opinions formed accordingly on drug resistance detection by the targeted next-generation sequencing technique. Therefore, facilitate the understanding of this new technique and accelerate its promotion. This note interpreted the key data and the opinions in the rapid communication, so as to help the reader to recognize the value of the targeted next-generation sequencing technique in the diagnosis of drug resistant tuberculosis.
