Diagnostic accuracy of Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra and culture assays to detect Mycobacterium Tuberculosis using OMNIgene-sputum processed stool among adult TB presumptive patients in Uganda.

Diagnostic accuracy of Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra and culture assays to detect Mycobacterium Tuberculosis using OMNIgene-sputum processed stool among adult TB presumptive patients in Uganda.

<h4>Background</h4>Stool is a potential sample for diagnosing Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in patients with difficulty in expectorating. However, high mycobacterial culture contamination rates and Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra test error rates on stool samples have limited its use. OMNIgene SP...
