Our study addresses the urgent need for effective detection of , a recognized threat by the World Health Organization (WHO). Current challenges in managing infections include the lack of rapid and affordable detection tools, particularly in resource-limited point-of-care (POC) settings. To tackle this, we developed an innovative molecular detection pipeline combining three POC-compatible methods.

Distinguishing between () and () infections holds critical "One Health" significance due to the zoonotic nature of these infections and inherent resistance of to pyrazinamide, a key part of the directly observed treatment, short-course (DOTS) regimen. Furthermore, most of the currently used molecular detection methods fail to distinguish between the two species.
