Abstract
Bacterial killing in TB-patients with relapse was compared to patients achieving cure, measured by TB-molecular bacterial load assay(TB-MBLA) or MGIT time to positivity(TTP). TB-MBLA in 4 relapsed patients was significantly different compared to 132 cured patients after 2 weeks of treatment; MGIT TTP showed a significant difference from week 8.
