Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the bacteria that causes tuberculosis (TB). Although the TB germs typically attack the lungs, they can also affect the kidney, spine, and brain. Not every person who contracts the TB germs gets ill. Latent TB infection (LTBI) and TB disease are therefore two TB-related diseases. TB disease can be lethal if it is not adequately treated.

Genes2Me offers high standard kits for rapid detection and quantification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC or MTBC) in patient specimens using Gold standards of Taqman chemistry. These RT-PCR kits are extensively compatible with commonly available real time PCR Instruments and hold no cross-reactivity with other pathogens.
