Molecular detection of rifampin and isoniazid resistance to guide chronic TB patient management in Burkina Faso

Abstract: BackgroundDrug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) is considered a real threat to the achievement of TB control. Testing of mycobacterial culture and testing of drug susceptibility (DST) capacity are limited in resource-poor countries, therefore inadequate treatment may occur, favouring resistance development. We evaluated the molecular assay GenoType® MTBDRplus (Hain Lifescience, Germany) in order to detect DR-TB directly in clinical specimens as a means of providing a more accurate management of chronic TB patien… Show more

“…Similarly, better performance characteristics were achieved when BACTEC MGIT was used as a reference method, which is in agreement with some previous publications [26]. Contrary to previous studies [22,25], there were no significant differences between pooled sensitivity and specificity values for RIF and INH (95.3% and 95.5%; 89.9 and 87.1%, respectively) whereas overall specificity values for both drugs tended to be lower across all sites.…”

“…Recent studies, and a meta-analysis, of the GenoType® MTBDRPlus assay performed directly on specimens in various settings demonstrated good concordance with standard phenotypic DST results [15,[22][23][24][25][26]. Most reported studies, however, were based on smaller collections and/or convenience specimens and performed in research laboratories rather than in routine settings.…”

“…The inclusion of a multiplex PCR preamplification step significantly increased the overall sensitivity from 70.9% to 96.7% (P Ͻ 0.05), a sensitivity similar to that reported elsewhere with sputum specimens (78.5% to 100%) (3,8,(13)(14)(15)17). Likewise, performance for the detection of RIF resistance, INH resistance, and MDR was similar to that reported in the literature (1-3, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17) for sputum and/or clinical specimens.…”

“…An additional 116 MTBC culture-negative specimens were included in the analysis. DNA from isolates and specimens was extracted by thermal lysis and sonication as described elsewhere (15). Phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (DST) for rifampin (RIF) and isoniazid (INH) was performed according to international recommendations (16).…”
