AB  - Tuberculosis remains one of the major infectious diseases in Indonesia and continues to contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality rates. Rapid and accurate diagnosis is essential to reduce transmission and improve treatment outcomes. Molecular Rapid Test (MRT) or GeneXpert MTB/RIF has been widely implemented as a diagnostic tool capable of detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis and rifampicin resistance simultaneously within a short time. This study aimed to describe the results of Molecular Rapid Test examinations among presumptive tuberculosis patients at RSUD Prambanan, Sleman Regency. This research used a descriptive observational design with secondary data obtained from TB 04 records and the Tuberculosis Information System (SITB) during January–December 2025. A total of 2,384 samples fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were analyzed descriptively using frequency distribution and percentages. The results showed that most patients belonged to the low-risk category (96.9%), while only 3.1% were classified as high-risk. Most examination results indicated MTB not detected in both groups. Rifampicin-sensitive MTB was identified in 153 patients, whereas rifampicin-resistant MTB was found in only one patient. Positive MTB results were more frequently identified in male patients and adult-to-elderly age groups. The study concludes that most presumptive tuberculosis patients examined using GeneXpert showed MTB not detected results with a very low prevalence of rifampicin resistance. These findings support the importance of maintaining early detection programs and strengthening tuberculosis control strategies in healthcare facilities.
