Abstract
Few studies have directly compared the performance of rapid molecular diagnostic tests for tuberculosis (TB). We found that the commercially available molecular diagnostic tests Xpert(®) MTB/RIF and GenoType(®) MTBDRplus both provided timely and accurate results compared to conventional phenotypic tests in detecting TB and rifampicin resistance.Entities:
