Abstract

The performance of the Genedia MTB detection kit was compared with that of the Cobas TaqMan MTB test using respiratory specimens. The Genedia and Cobas assays showed comparable sensitivities (81.8% and 78.8%, respectively) and specificities (99.8% and 99.5%, respectively), while the Genedia assay produced fewer invalid results and required less turnaround time and labor.
