This test is aslo known as GeneXpert, Sputum Gene-Xpert Test, Gene-Xpert TB Test, Gene-Xpert TB, Gene-Xpert test.
The Gene-Xpert MTB/RIF Sputum Test helps to rapidly diagnose TB disease and identify drug resistance.
The test simultaneously detects Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) and resistance to rifampin (RIF) in less than 2 hours. In comparison, standard cultures can take 2 to 6 weeks for MTBC to grow, and conventional drug resistance tests can add 3 more weeks.
The information provided by the Xpert MTB/RIF test aids in selecting treatment regimens and reaching infection control decisions quickly.
