Abstract
En reiteradas ocasiones se ha establecido la necesidad de contar con un método rápido, sensible, específico y de bajo costo que permita realizar un diagnóstico oportuno de la Tuberculosis y la detección temprana de cepas de Mycobacterium tuberculosis multidrogaresistentes. Respondiendo a esta necesidad se ha diseñado un método capaz de distinguir entre pacientes con Tuberculosis y pacientes control sanos, además de facilitar la detección de cepas resistentes a los fármacos isoniacida y rifampicina de manera más rápida y efectiva en comparación con las pruebas consideradas como Gold Standard. En esta revisión analizaremos el método de Susceptibilidad a Fármacos mediante Observación Microscópica (MODS).
Has been repeatedly highlighted the need for a rapid, sensitive, specific and low-cost method that allows early diagnosis of Tuberculosis and multidrug-resistance strains. Responding to this need, a method has been designed, wich is able to distinguish between patients with Tuberculosis and healthy control patients, also facilítate the detection of drug-resistance strains to the drugs isoniazid and rifampin for faster and more effective way compared to the tests considered as Gold Standard. In this review we discuss the method Microscopic-Observation Drug Susceptibility (MODS).
