Assays were performed in human sputum (Sputum), artificial sputum (MUCAS) and 0.85% saline solution (Saline). The limit of detection (LoD) was determined using two-fold dilutions of H37Rv spiked in test matrix. Number of test series of BD-MAX, XP-Ultra, FT-MTB in human sputum, MUCAS and saline were 8, 10, 6, and 8, 9, 9 and 9, 6, 9, respectively. **** p≤0.0001, *** p≤0.001, ** p≤0.01, * p≤0.05 (one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test).
