The MPT64 test showed a good positive predictive value (88%) and an excellent specificity (99, 95% CI 92-10 in formalin-fixed biopsies. In fine-needle aspirates, pus and fluid samples, the test performance was lower. CONCLUSIONS The MPT64 test was implementable in pathology laboratories as part of routine diagnostics, and although the sensitivity of the MPT64 test was not better than culture in this setting, the test supplements other rapid diagnostic methods, including microscopy and PCR-based tests, and can contribute to strengt
