Accuracy of the Phenotypic 1G Test to Detect <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> and Drug Resistance From Sputa in the US-Mexico Border
The 1G test is a low-complexity phenotypic TB diagnostic method that is a practical replacement to current culture-based tests. Future studies are warranted to evaluate the implementation of the 1G test in decentralized clinics that lack molecular tools, resources and expertise.
