GenoType MTBDR plus Assay for Molecular Detection of Rifampin and Isoniazid Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Strains and Clinical Samples

Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) is an important public health problem and remains one of the most threatening curable infectious diseases, despite improvements in diagnostic and drug susceptibility tests. The effective control of TB is based on the immediate detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, followed by the prompt implementation of adequate antituberculous therapy (29).The emergence of strains resistant to the major anti-TB drugs speeds up the need for rapid methods for the identification of resistant M. tuberculosis… Show more

“…In this study, sensitivity of the MTBDRplus assay for INH resistance detection was 95% (90-99%). In general, sensitivity of the MTBDRplus assay for INH resistance detection ranges from 73% to 92% [12][13][14]. Results of INH resistance detection were concor- [15,26].…”

“…Similar studies conducted in Brazil [10] and Nigeria [11] showed that sensitivity of MTBDRplus for RMP resistance detection directly with sputum was of 82% and 83%, respectively. Sensitivity of MTBDRplus for RMP resistance detection ranges from 92% to 99% globally [12][13][14].…”

“…Los resultados de sensibilidad y especificidad obtenidos en este estudio, tanto para RIf, INH y para ambas drogas simultáneamente (MDR,) fueron comparables con los resultados obtenidos por otras investigaciones (5,(9)(10)(11) demostrando su utilidad para la detección rápida de la resistencia a drogas antituberculosas. Los valores del índice de youden demuestran que la prueba molecular es muy eficiente para detectar la resistencia a las drogas antituberculosas, sobre todo cuando la muestra es esputo, siendo sus resultados muy confiables.…”

“…[32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] Conceptually similar to the INNO-Lipa Rif.tb assay, the MTBDRplus assay has been reported to have a diagnostic sensitivity of approximately 94% for detecting M tuberculosis DNA in smear-positive respiratory specimens. 33 It is of interest that most clinical evaluations of this device have focused on its use for susceptibility testing, not detection of M tuberculosis, so the performance characteristics for the latter use are less well defined.…”
