Genexpert Ultra (Next Generation) MTB PCR Test

The limit of detection of the Ultra is considered to be lower than the (15.6 bacterial with colony-forming units (CFU) per ml that is compared with the 114 CFU per ml with the Xpert), with the greatest improvement in the detection that is likely to be in the paucibacillary samples.

It is seen that show that post the completion of the appropriate treatment, The GeneXpert would be able to produce the false-positive results for about 4 years and it is seen that in 8.72% of the positive tests conducted on the respiratory samples for about 18 months, which could be possibly be owing to the presence of the residual mycobacterial DNA in your respiratory tract along with detection of non-viable part.

The GeneXpert MTB/RIF assay is considered to be a novel integrated diagnostic device that aims in performing the sample processing and which is heminested in real-time PCR analysis with single hands-free step for specific diagnosis of the tuberculosis and its rapid detection of the RIF resistance in required clinical specimens.

If the health care worker knows from the start that the TB of a person is resistant to rifampicin, she can choose other drugs to treat the TB effectively. The Gene Xpert is also more sensitive than most other TB tests (up to 98%) – this means it can detect TB better than these tests.

This test also called Xpert MTB/RIF assay is the nucleic acid amplification (NAA) test which is a disposable cartridge with a defined GeneXpert Instrument System. The sputum sample can be thus collected from patients with the suspected TB.

It Is seen that the GeneXpert MTB/RIF test generally has a fair sensitivity and the defined specificity for further diagnosing the smear negative pulmonary TB. It could also be considered useful for further diagnosing the pulmonary TB in the patients with the negative sputum and the AFB smear. This assay is considered to be faster than any culture that would detect rifampicin resistant strains of the MTB.
