The Sputum-GeneXpert MTB/RIF Ultra Test is a molecular diagnostic test designed to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and assess resistance to rifampicin, an essential antibiotic used to treat tuberculosis (TB). This test uses advanced technology to provide rapid and accurate results, identifying both active TB infection and drug resistance. It is particularly valuable for individuals showing symptoms of TB, such as persistent cough, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Early detection and knowledge of rifampicin resistance allow for appropriate treatment, improving patient outcomes and preventing the spread of drug-resistant TB.

Tuberculosis is a contagious bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs, and early diagnosis is essential for effective management. The GeneXpert MTB/RIF Ultra Test not only confirms TB infection but also detects resistance to rifampicin, a common first-line treatment. Detecting rifampicin resistance is crucial, as drug-resistant TB is harder to treat and can lead to severe health complications. Individuals at high risk, such as those in close contact with TB patients, immunocompromised individuals, or those with persistent respiratory symptoms, should consider this test for timely diagnosis and treatment.
