Comparison of the Xpert MTB/RIF Test with an IS6110-TaqMan Real-Time PCR Assay for Direct Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Respiratory and Nonrespiratory Specimens

The sensitivities of the Xpert MTB/RIF test and an in-house IS6110-based real-time PCR using TaqMan probes (IS6110-TaqMan assay) for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) DNA were compared by use of 117 clinical specimens (97 culture positive and 20 culture negative for MTBC) th...
