Detection of tuberculosis (TB) using gold standard method, direct sputum smears microscopy, PCR, qPCR and electrochemical DNA sensor: a mini review

Despite the continued effort globally made to control the growing case of Tuberculosis (TB), it continues to be regarded as the second deadliest disease after the HIV. There are various methods developed to diagnose TB, most of which having the criteria of sensitive, selective, cheap and portable to...
