dc.description.abstract	Three molecular assays were evaluated for the direct detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex bacteria in 125 respiratory and 22 nonrespiratory samples. The overall sensitivities obtained were as follows: GenoType MTBDRplus, 97.9%; GenoType Mycobacteria Direct, 93.7%; Gen-Probe Mycobacterium tuberculosis Amplified Direct Test, 89.6%. The specificity of the assays used was 100%.	en
