Training clinical microbiologists in the use of the MBL assay for tuberculosis
Who is affected
Clinical microbiologists and other laboratory scientists
Narrative
We have developed a molecular bacterial load assay which is able to quantify the number of viable M. tuberculosis in patient samples. The technique is taught to delegates to the Wellcome Trust Advanced Course Genomics and Clinical Bacteriology. It provides new understanding of what is possible using this cutting edge tool.
