PCR can accelerate TB detection and is specifically recommended by WHO for pulmonary TB testing.
BD MAX™ is an easy-to-use system that performs nucleic acid extraction and real-time PCR.5
In addition, the BD MAX™ MDR-TB assay has a high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of MDR-TB and the mutations for RIF and INH drug resistance, and is endorsed by WHO for this purpose.6
