The scientific summary “Laboratory Performance in Molecular Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Through Analysis of External Quality Assessment Program Results: WHO-Recommended Tests Outperform Others” received the Personalized Medicine Division Award at ADLM 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Emphasizing the value of the Brazilian External Quality Assessment program (Proficiency Testing – PT<\/a>) for tuberculosis detection, the work is the result of discussions among Controllab<\/a> experts with the valuable collaboration of Gustavo Barra, PhD in Molecular Pharmacology and coordinator of the genomics department at Sabin Diagn\u00f3stico e Sa\u00fade<\/a>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In an exclusive interview, Dr. Gustavo detailed the scientific approach of the summary and highlighted the collaborative partnership that led to international recognition. According to the specialist, Controllab, as a provider of Proficiency Testing, has a comprehensive view of diagnostic medicine in Brazil and the countries where it operates. This allows the company to provide valuable information to both laboratories and patients, positively impacting global health.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\u2013 Our work analyzed the performance of Molecular Proficiency Testing for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and found that, overall, laboratories have performed very well, with accuracy exceeding 95% over the past four years, both in detecting the pathogen and identifying resistances. Commercial methods show better performance, and those recommended by the WHO are superior to those without this recommendation,<\/em>\u00a0he highlighted.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
