Author notes
Competing Interests: The authors of this manuscript have the following competing interests: Cepheid Inc
loaned two 4-module GeneXpert machines to the study team free-of-charge, but had no
role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation
of the manuscript. This does not alter our adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing
data and materials.
