Global Spread and Laboratory Diagnosis of Tuberculosis

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 tests for Mycobacterium tuberculosis are vital to prevent severe symptoms and transmission. To achieve accurate diagnosis, culturing Mycobacterium tuberculosis and molecular tuberculosis assays require proper collection and processing techniques to avoid contamination from rapidly growing flora or other bacteria.
