Diagnostic challenges and Gene-Xpert utility in detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis among suspected cases of pulmonary tuberculosis

The incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) can be reduced by preventing transmission with rapid and precise case detection and early treatment. The Gene-Xpert MTB/RIF assay is a useful tool for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) with rifampicin resistance within approximately two hours by...
