Evaluation of the Diagnostic Performance of Xpert MTB/RIF Test for the Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Rifampin Resistance in Clinical Samples
Abstract
Rapid and accurate detection of active tuberculosis (TB) cases is one of the most important goal of tuberculosis control programme. For this purpose, new methods are being developed to isolate, serotype and determine the drug resistance of the agent. Xpert MTB/RIF test (CepheidGeneXpert® System, USA) that has been recently developed, is a real-time polymerase chain reaction-based method which detects Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and...
