The AFB-Xpert panel is a rapid diagnostic test used on extrapulmonary samples (fluids or tissues from outside the lungs; eg. Ascitic fluid, Pericardial fluid, Urine, Gastric lavage, Pleural fluid, Pus, Peritoneal Fluid, CSF, Synovial fluid) to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), the bacteria that causes tuberculosis (TB), and identify potential resistance to Rifampicin, a key antibiotic used in TB treatment.
