The re-engineered Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra (Xpert Ultra) assay was developed due to the poor sensitivity of the Xpert MTB/RIF assay for the detection of tuberculosis (TB) in some conditions. This new assay has been recommended by the World Health Organization since 2017. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to assess the accuracy of Xpert Ultra for the detection of TB and rifampicin (RIF) resistance.
