R: resistant; S: sensitive; NA: not available; Se: sensitivity; Sp: specificity; INV: invalid; PLR: positive likelihood ratio; NLR: negative likelihood ratio; Agr: agreement.
Seven strains with very weak inhA locus control bands and 3 strains without katG control bands were identified as invalid results.
Significant test for Kappa.
