Dependence of Xpert MTB/RIF Accuracy for Detecting Rifampin Resistance in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid on Bacterial Load: A Retrospective Study in Beijing, China

INTRODUCTION: We assessed the effect of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) bacterial load on Xpert MTB/RIF accuracy for detection of rifampicin (RIF)-resistant MTB in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) specimens obtained at a national tuberculosis (TB) specialized hospital in Beijing, China. METHODS:...
