Tuberculosis (TB)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex
(MTBC)
• TB is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), a very
slow growing Gram-positive bacillus.
3
Tuberculosis (TB)
• A major global health problem
• 1/3 of world’s population are carriers; most are latent
• TB cases are decreasing , but drug-resistant TB is increasing
• MDR-TB (multidrug-resistant TB)
resistant to at least rifampin and isoniazid.
• XDR-TB (extensively drug-resistant TB)
MDR-TB with resistance to a fluoroquinolone
and either capreomycin, amikacin, or kanamycin.
4
In 2013, an estimated 9.0 million people developed TB and 1.5
million died from TB.

Mycobacterial Growth Indicator Tube system (MGIT, BD)
Fluorescent on the bottom is sensitive to the presence of oxygen
dissolved in the broth. As the oxygen is used by microorganisms,
the fluorescence can be detected.

GenoType MTBDRplus (Hain Lifescience GmbH,
Nehren, Germany)
• A line probe hybridization
assay.
• Detection of rifampin and
isoniazid resistance
• GenoType MTBDRsl assay

Xpert MTB/RIF (Cepheid)
In December 2010, WHO
endorsed the Xpert MTB/RIF
for use in TB endemic
countries and declared it a
major milestone for global TB
diagnosis.
•Results are obtained from
unprocessed sputum samples
in 90 minutes

Xpert MTB/RIF (Cepheid)
• Results are obtained from unprocessed sputum samples in 90
minutes
• Minimal biohazard and very little technical training required
to operate.
• This test was developed as an on-demand near patient
technology which could be performed even in a doctor's office.
• Co-developed by Professor David Alland at the University of
Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Cepheid Inc. and
Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics, with additional
financial support from NIH.
13
Xpert MTB/RIF (Cepheid)
• Simultaneous detection of both MTBC and rifampicin
resistance.
• Detecting MTB — even in smear negative, culture positive
specimens
• The concessional price for a GeneXpert system is USD 17,000
for a 4 module instrument. The cost of a test cartridge in
countries eligible for concessional pricing is USD 9.98.

Performance
of Xpert MTB/RIF
• Pooled sensitivity of 88% and specificity of 98%.
• The sensitivity of the MTB/RIF test on just 1 sputum sample was
92.2% for culture-positive TB; 98.2% for smear- and culturepositive cases; and 72.5% for smear-negative, culture-positive cases.
• Sensitivity and higher specificity were slightly higher when 3
samples were tested.

Evaluation of the Cobas TaqMan MTB Test for
Direct Detection of MTBC in Respiratory Specimens
• The Cobas Amplicor MTB assay (Roche Diagnostics) is based
on amplification of the 16S rRNA gene, followed by
colorimetric detection of the amplicon by probe hybridization.
• The Cobas TaqMan MTB Test is based on real-time PCR and
is used for detection of MTBC in pulmonary specimens,
including smear-(+) and -(-) specimens.

17
Evaluation of the Cobas TaqMan MTB Test for
Direct Detection of MTBC
• 1,093 samples (446 patients), including 118 AFB-(+) and 975
AFB-(-) specimens.
• The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV were 91.5%, 98.7%,
91.5%, and 98.7%, respectively.
• High sensitivity (79.5%) for detecting MTBC in AFB-(-)
specimens, 35/44 AFB-(-) were positive.

Agar proportional method
• Many XDR-TB cases are not diagnosed since testing for
resistance to 2nd-line drugs is not routinely performed.
Blaschitz et al., 2011
• Accurate diagnosis and early initiation of treatment are
important to reduce transmission and hinder the emergence
of drug-resistant TB.
Ajbani et al., 2011.

Treatment of TB
First-line drugs
Isoniazid (INH); Rifampin (RIF); Pyrazinamide
(PZA); Ethambutol (EMB); Streptomycin (SM).
Second-line
drugs
Capreomycin; Ofloxacin; Levofloxacin;
Moxifloxacin; Rifabutin; Kanamycin; Amikacin;
Prothionamide; Para-aminosalicylate;
Cycloserine; Ethionamide.
Susceptible case: 6-month treatment with 3-5 drugs of 1st-line
MDR case: 18 to 24-month treatment with 2nd-line

Conclusion
• The array can effectively detect drug resistance to the 1st
and 2nd-line anti-TB drugs, except CAP.
• Similar results from positive liquid cultures (MGIT).
• The array can detect exact mutations, thus has
epidemiology value.
• The turnaround time is about 6 h.
• The array is relatively cheap.
