TL;DR: Treatment outcomes were significantly better with use of linezolid, later generation fluoroquinolones, bedaquiline, clofazimine, and carbapenems for treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, and the need for trials to ascertain the optimal combination and duration of these drugs is emphasised.

Xpert® MTB/RIF for national tuberculosis programmes in low-income countries: when, where and how?

TL;DR: The positive predictive value by Xpert MTB/RIF is high, and identification of RMP resistance is an excellent proxy for multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB), and the assay should be widely used for this purpose if, and only if, excellent MDR- TB management is available.
