Figure 2. — Comparison of the cycle threshold (Ct) values obtained by Xpert Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB)/rifampicin (RIF) analysis of fecal samples from sputum smear-positive, -scanty, and -negative patients. Legend: The Ct values obtained by Xpert MTB/RIF analysis of fecal samples from sputum-positive patients were compared with those of sputum scanty positive and sputum-negative individuals. The Ct values of the samples from sputum smear 1+ to 3+ patients were significantly lower than that those of the samples from sputum-negative (P = .011) or scanty positive patients (P = .0012).
