Abstract

Xpert®️ MTB/RIF assay is presently used in Iraq for the detection of rifampicin resistance Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) isolates. Rifampicin resistance is determined based on any mutation in the Rifampicin Resistant Determinant Region (RRDR) of the rpoB gene using five overlapping probes (A, B,
