Rapid Detection of Acquired and Inducible Clarithromycin Resistance in Mycobacterium abscessus Group by a Simple Real-Time PCR Assay JOURNAL OF CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY Luo, R. F., Curry, C., Taylor, N., Budvytiene, I., Banaei, N. 2015; 53 (7): 2337-2339

Abstract

By targeting the erm(41) and rrl genes in the Mycobacterium abscessus group, a multiplex real-time PCR assay for clarithromycin resistance showed 95% (38/40) concordance with nucleic acid testing and 95% (37/39) concordance with phenotypic testing. This assay provides a simple and rapid alternative to extended incubation or erm(41) sequencing.
