This set of 11 training modules on the Xpert MTB/RIF assay was developed by Global Laboratory Initiative partners, including FIND, KNCV, USAID, CDC and WHO. The modules include topics such as biosafety, specimen collection and transportation, supplies management, installation, Xpert MTB/RIF procedures, recording and reporting, and troubleshooting.
This guide was developed by the Global Laboratory Initiative, which is one of the Working Groups of the Stop TB Partnership. The guide replaces both the 1998 WHO and 2000 IUATLD guides on smear microscopy and contains many new elements.
The purpose of this training toolkit is to build the capacity of health care workers to address and manage TB in children. The toolkit consists of ten modules.

This webinar describes the different NAATs (nucleic acid amplification tests) that are available, including the Gen-Probe MTD test, the Xpert MTB/RIF test, and Pyrosequencing (PSQ), as well as rapid molecular tests for drug resistance, including PSQ, line probe assays, and the CDC MDDR Service.
This brief online course allows users to test their knowledge regarding the Xpert MTB/RIF assay.
This pocket guide is intended to assist clinicians in managing patients with HIV and LTBI, and drug-susceptible pulmonary TB disease. The guide includes signs and symptoms, adult dosing, dosage forms, drug-drug interactions, side effects, and patient counseling points.
This website contains resources, materials, and links to latent TB infection and U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) materials.
This slide set was developed as an accompaniment to Targeted Tuberculin Testing and Treatment of Latent Tuberculosis Infection, a joint statement by CDC and the American Thoracic Society, and subsequent updates. The slide set provides an overview of the current recommendations for the testing and treatment of latent tuberculosis.
