Genexpert MTB Combo Panel, Pulmonary near me in Nashik

The Genexpert MTB Combo Panel, Pulmonary is a comprehensive molecular diagnostic test tailored to detect the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in sputum sample. In addition it is used to assess rifampicin resistance, and perform rapid AFB culture. This panel integrates both molecular diagnostics and culture techniques, providing rapid and accurate results for patients with suspected pulmonary tuberculosis. The Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB)/(Rifampicin) RIF detection utilizes the Xpert assay to rapidly identify MTB DNA and simultaneously ascertain rifampicin resistance, a marker for multidrug-resistant TB. The AFB Culture component further enhances the diagnostic process by growing MTB in a controlled environment, allowing for subsequent drug susceptibility testing. Additionally, this panel aids in monitoring treatment response and assessing the risk of transmitting TB to others.
