Study flow diagram for an in vitro [a dilution series of cells (104, 103, and 102 colony-forming units per milliliter [CFU/mL])] experiment (A) and clinical experiment (sputa) (B) to assess the impact of thermocycler ramp rate on GenoType MTBDRsl VER 2.0 (MTBDRsl). DNA extracted from the dilution series and clinical specimens was split and MTBDRsl compared head-to-head at the manufacturer-recommended ramp rate of 2.2°C/second or 4.0°C/second. DS-TB, drug-susceptible tuberculosis; TB, tuberculosis; XDR-TB, extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis.
