Does genome sequencing reveal novel deletions associated with secondary resistance to pyrazinamide in MDR Mycobacterium tuberculosis?
Steadily decreasing sequencing costs are increasing the appeal of WGS as an alternative approach for detecting complex patterns of pyrazinamide resistance in MDR-TB.
The perioperative changes in B-type natriuretic peptide levels and their ability to predict outcomes are lesion-specific. Characterization of these changes might be useful in caring for infants after congenital heart surgery.
