WHO recommends using Genetic testing is used to diagnose drug-resistant TB

WHO's 2014 partner manual of guidelines for the management of drug-resistant TB programs recommends the use of several genetic testing techniques for the diagnosis of drug-resistant TB.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis nucleic acid test (TB DNA): mycobacterium tuberculosis detection, the traditional acid-fast bacillus smear staining microscopy, detection rate is low, many interference factors, system and man-made error is large. "gold standard" of n/med tuberculosis bacterium, mycobacterium tuberculosis in vitro cultivation cycle long, the positive detection rate is not high, so early diagnosis and determine the drug treatment of clinical bring certain difficulties, application of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique to detect mycobacterium tuberculosis, can greatly to provide the detection rate and the detection of mycobacterium tuberculosis specificity's helpful to clinical even treatment.

[Intended Use]

ultrassay MTB RT PCR test kit is used for detection of MYCObacterium tuberculosis DNA in human clinical sputum samples and tissue samples and for auxiliary diagnosis of mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
