Description: The lecture has been organized to highlight a potentially formative development in tuberculosis control: the creation of an automated nucleic acid amplification test allowing health care workers to diagnose tuberculosis and detect resistance within one hundred minutes. Current testing methods require multiple weeks to deliver laboratory results. The new test, Xpert MTB/RIF, introduces the prospect of transforming TB detection and targeted treatment by enabling patients to begin treatment on the same day.
