    • Worldwide, tuberculosis (TB) kills nearly 2 million people annually, yet rapid diagnosis still relies on a 100-year-old method of sputum staining for acid-fast bacilli. The advent of solid phase micro-extraction and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry makes it possible to systematically investigate whether volatile metabolites from organisms belonging to the genus Mycobacterium can be used as a rapid and highly selective alternative to the traditional diagnostic methods. We have identified… CONTINUE READING
