The Tuberculosis Test market is a subset of the larger Infectious Disease Testing market. It is used to detect the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria that causes tuberculosis. Tests are used to diagnose active tuberculosis, as well as to monitor the effectiveness of treatment. Tests can be divided into two categories: those that detect the presence of the bacteria, and those that detect the body's immune response to the bacteria. The most common tests are the tuberculin skin test, the interferon-gamma release assay, and the nucleic acid amplification test. The Tuberculosis Test market is highly competitive, with many companies offering a variety of tests. Some of the major players in the market include Abbott Laboratories, Becton Dickinson, Cepheid, Hologic, and Roche Diagnostics. Show Less Read more
