Represents results of 1 direct Xpert test, 3 smears, and 4 cultures.
The Xpert MTB/RIF Assay results on specimens from those sites where a NAAT test was
also performed are shown in Table . The NAAT test result is shown for comparison.

Xpert(3) = results of 3 Xpert tests, 3 smears, and 4 cultures; Xpert(1) = results of 1 direct
Xpert test, 3 smears, and 4 cultures; NAAT = ProbeTec (Azerbaijan), and AMPLICOR
(South Africa and India); NAAT “borderline” treated as negative.
