THE ROLE OF CULTURAL AND MOLECULAR GENETIC METHODS FOR DETECTING MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS AND DETERMINING THEIR DRUG SUSCEPTIBILITY
The article informs about the important role of molecular genetic studies in the early diagnosis of tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is confirmed by a positive result of cultures of pathological material, even with a negative bacterioscopy.
