GeneXpert Ultra Next Generation MTB with Rifampicin Resistance Semi Quantitative PCR Test
Advanced Tuberculosis Detection and Resistance Screening
The GeneXpert Ultra Next Generation MTB with Rifampicin Resistance Semi Quantitative PCR Test represents the gold standard in molecular tuberculosis diagnostics. This sophisticated testing platform combines cutting-edge PCR technology with automated sample processing to deliver rapid, accurate results for both tuberculosis detection and rifampicin resistance screening in a single test.
What This Revolutionary Test Measures
This comprehensive diagnostic test performs multiple critical functions:
- Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Complex Detection: Identifies the presence of MTB DNA with exceptional sensitivity
- Rifampicin Resistance Screening: Detects specific genetic mutations associated with rifampicin resistance
- Semi-Quantitative Analysis: Provides bacterial load estimation to monitor treatment response
- Real-Time PCR Amplification: Utilizes nested PCR and melt peak detection for maximum accuracy
Who Should Consider This Essential Test
This test is recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Persistent cough lasting more than 3 weeks
- Unexplained weight loss and fatigue
- Night sweats and fever of unknown origin
- Chest pain and breathing difficulties
- Contact with known TB patients
- Immunocompromised conditions (HIV, diabetes, cancer patients)
- Healthcare workers with potential TB exposure
- Residents of high TB prevalence areas
Significant Benefits of Advanced TB Testing
Choosing the GeneXpert Ultra test provides numerous advantages:
- Same-Day Results: Sample processing daily by 11 AM with same-day reporting
- Early Detection: Identifies TB infection before symptoms become severe
- Drug Resistance Information: Guides appropriate antibiotic selection
- Treatment Monitoring: Semi-quantitative results help track treatment effectiveness
- High Accuracy: Superior sensitivity and specificity compared to traditional methods
- Minimal Sample Requirements: Works with various sample types including sputum, BAL fluid, and CSF
Understanding Your Test Results
Your test report will provide clear, actionable information:
- MTB Detected/Not Detected: Confirms or rules out tuberculosis infection
- Rifampicin Resistance Status: Indicates whether the strain is sensitive or resistant to rifampicin
- Semi-Quantitative Category: Classifies bacterial load as very low, low, medium, or high
- Clinical Interpretation: Provides guidance for next steps based on results
Positive results should be discussed immediately with your healthcare provider to initiate appropriate treatment. Negative results in symptomatic patients may require additional testing or clinical evaluation.
