Rapid point-of-care detection of the tuberculosis pathogen using a BlaC-specific fluorogenic probe

Early diagnosis of tuberculosis can dramatically reduce both its transmission and the associated death rate. The extremely slow growth rate of the causative pathogen, Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ), however, makes this challenging at the point of care, particularly in resource-limited settings....
