MTB-NTM Multiplex Real-Time PCR Kit

Differentiation Between Tuberculosis (TB) and Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM)

Accurate differentiation between Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) — enabling precise diagnosis and appropriate treatment decisions.

Overview


The MTB-NTM Multiplex Real-Time PCR Kit is an advanced in vitro diagnostic assay developed for the qualitative differentiation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM). directly from clinical specimens. By targeting unique genetic markers of both pathogen types, this assay provides. rapid, reliable, and actionable results, reducing misdiagnosis and improving patient management.

This kit plays a vital role in differentiating true TB infections from NTM-related pulmonary or extrapulmonary diseases — a growing global challenge in tuberculosis-endemic regions.

Targets Covered
mpt64 gene: Specific to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB).
KU gene: Specific to Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM).
Detects clinically significant NTM species, including: M. avium, M. abscessus, M. fortuitum, M. kansasii.

Features and Benefits


Invitromain
