Global diffusion and diagnostic complexity
Most individuals who contract TB reside in low- and middle-income countries, yet TB exists all over the world. Furthermore, multidrug-resistant TB continues to pose a public health threat. Prompt diagnostic testing for mycobacterium tuberculosis is vital to prevent severe symptoms and transmission to others. To achieve accurate diagnosis, current testing methods like sputum culture and Nucleic Acid Amplification necessitate proper collection and processing techniques to prevent contamination from rapidly growing flora or other bacteria.
