Microarray-based selection of a serum biomarker panel that can discriminate between latent and active pulmonary TB

Abstract Bacterial culture of M. tuberculosis (MTB), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), from clinical specimens is the gold standard for laboratory diagnosis of TB, but is slow and culture-negative TB cases are common. Alternative immune-based and molecular approaches have been developed, but...
