TB PCR

Description

TB PCR, or Tuberculosis PCR, is a molecular test used to detect the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) DNA in a sample, helping to diagnose tuberculosis. It identifies the genetic material of the bacteria, enabling faster diagnosis than traditional methods like sputum culture. PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction, a technique that amplifies specific DNA sequences, making them detectable even in small quantities.
