The Need
- Each day, close to 4,400 people lose their lives to TB and nearly 30,000 people fall ill with this preventable and curable disease1
- Globally, diagnosis of TB and drug-resistant TB remains a challenge, with a third of people with TB and two-thirds of people with drug-resistant TB not being detected1
- Precise and early detection of TB is needed to improve case management and significantly enhance the prevention of TB transmission2

The Solution
- Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra provides fast and highly accurate detection of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB) and Rifampicin (RIF) resistance simultaneously from patient samples
- Higher sensitivity, especially in smear-negative TB cases and among HIV-infected patients3
- Simple three-step process with minimal hands-on time and results in ~80 min direct from sample
- Designed to provide the most accurate MTB and Rifampicin detection utilizing multi-target and melt curves technology
- Accurate detection of mixed infections

The Impact
- Early detection of MTB and resistance to Rifampicin enables faster access to the most appropriate treatment for better patient outcomes4
- Increased access to front-line testing with Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra as part of active case finding and management can help limit community transmission5
- Superior performance of Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra versus smear microscopy enables more people with MTB infections to be detected and treated earlier4
