DiaPlexC™ MTC/NTM Detection Kit

DiaPlexC™ MTC/NTM Detection Kit

Multiplex PCR based assay system for simultaneous detection of MTC and NTM complex

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is a pathogenic bacteria species and the causative agent in most cases of tuberculosis. Along with MTB, 5 other species, which we call MTC are regarded as common infectious agents causing tuberculosis. That is why it is necessary to detect MTC, along with MTB. Although NTM is a group of non-tuberculosis related mycobacteria, it usually causes lung infections that mimic tuberculosis resulting in a potential misdiagnosis. Thus, the identification of a single infection or co-infection of MTC and NTM is required for appropriate treatment.
