Performance of an Xpert-based diagnostic algorithm for the rapid detection of drug-resistant tuberculosis among high-risk populations in a low-incidence setting

Timely diagnosis of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) is beneficial for case treatment and management. We implemented an algorithm to improve molecular diagnostic utilization to intensify DR-TB case findings. The GeneXpert MTB/RIF (Xpert) test was used for initial diagnosis. Samples with Mycobacte...
