Mycobacterium Tuberculosis GeneXpert Test – Short Description:
The Mycobacterium Tuberculosis GeneXpert test is a molecular diagnostic test that detects the DNA of *Mycobacterium tuberculosis* and identifies genetic mutations associated with drug resistance (such as rifampicin resistance) in a single, rapid assay. The test uses real-time PCR technology and provides results in just a few hours, making it a crucial tool for the early detection of tuberculosis (TB), including drug-resistant strains. It is highly sensitive and specific, allowing for quicker diagnosis and appropriate treatment decisions, especially in patients with suspected pulmonary or extrapulmonary TB. The GeneXpert test is particularly valuable in resource-limited settings for improving TB diagnosis and management.
