Slide DST
Dear all,
This is Mostafizur Rahman.I am Working as a Laboratory
coordinator(Microbiologist) under TB care-II Bangladesh project at
National Tuberculosis Reference Laboratory(NTRL).The first Drug
Resistance Survey (DRS) in Bangladesh is running in this laboratory and
everything is going very nicely.Hopefully it will finish by the end of
this year.We already introduce slide DST(Liquid) in our lab on a pilot basis
beside conventional solid(L-J) culture and DST.Can anybody help me to find more informative guideline about Slide DST ?
With Regards
