The GeneXpert Test is an advanced molecular test used primarily to detect the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the bacteria that causes tuberculosis or TB) and determine if the strain is resistant to the antibiotic rifampicin — a key drug used in TB treatment. It provides highly accurate results within a short time, making it crucial for early diagnosis and timely treatment.
Why It’s Done:
• To diagnose active tuberculosis (TB) infection
• To detect rifampicin resistance, an indicator of multi-drug-resistant TB (MDR-TB)
• Recommended for people with symptoms of TB or those at high risk
Test Method:
• Uses real-time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technology to detect
