1. Change Section Title to “Test(s) Requested”.
Note:
2 .The colon after Requested and “Sequencing-Based DST (performed by default)” are to be removed.

  1. Under Test Requested Section. List the applicable test that are ordered in the following order with the following text (all in Bold):
    • Sequencing-Based DST
    • First-line pDST (RIF, INH, EMB)
    • Second-line pDST (MOX, AMK, CAP, ETA, KAN, RFB)
    • First-line pDST for 4-month RPT-MOX regimen (RIF, INH, MOX)
    • WGS Genotyping

4.Note:
Currently the order for WGS Genotyping is in the form of a statement/answer.
“TB DST Reference Center to perform WGS Genotyping:
Yes, please perform default testing”

We want to simplify to the above with just WGS Genotyping
