Recent changes to the Canadian Tuberculosis Standards require a test with a short turnaround time to determine prompt treatment for individuals with M. tuberculosis detected by molecular assays. As such, PHO requires supply of an assay which is capable of detecting multidrug resistant tuberculosis from clinical specimens, as well as culture isolates.
