10 Jim Bowie Presents Cough, shortness of breath, fever, malaise, weight loss Clinician wants to rule out TB What sample should they send?? Please spit in this cup.

11 Henry's clinical diagnosis and management by laboratory methods. 22 nd ed. Elsevier, (or 8-24 hours apart with at least one early morning)

12 Mr. Bowie s sputum is received What do we do with it? Before anything else: Digest (i.e. demucify) n acetyl l cysteine (NALC) Decontaminate (kill non- mycobacteria) Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) Concentrate centrifuge

13 Sample digest/decontaminate AFB stain (fluorochrome) culture broth medium (MGIT tubes) culture agar plate (7H11) What s different about TB (and other mycobacteria)? E. coli doubling time: ~20 minutes In 24 hours, 1 bug 2 72 bugs M. tuberculosis doubling time: ~24 hours In 24 hours, 1 bug 2 bugs may take up to 6 weeks!

14 Gram stain Henry's clinical diagnosis and management by laboratory methods. 22 nd ed. Elsevier, 2011.

15 AFB stain (carbol fuchsin) Ziehl-Neelsen: requires heating Kinyoun: no heat, cold Henry's clinical diagnosis and management by laboratory methods. 22 nd ed. Elsevier, 2011.

16 Fluorochrome stain Auramine- rhodamine dye Can view low mag, faster Sensi0vity: 25-75% per stain Repeat 3 0mes Specificity: 99% What do we detect? mycobacteria

17 Sample digest/decontaminate AFB stain (fluorochrome) + culture broth medium (MGIT tubes) culture agar plate (7H11) Pt treated for NTM (MOTT) Molecular test for MTBC: TMA PCR + Pt treated for TB await cultures

18 Transcrip0on Mediated Amplifica0on Luminometer (TMA) Hybridization protection assay (HPA) Gen- Probe technology Principle: there s more rrna than DNA Hill. Gen Probe Transcription-Mediated Amplification: System Principles. Gen Probe Inc., 1996.

19 Transcrip0on Mediated Amplifica0on (TMA) What do we detect? M. tuberculosis complex (MTBC) RNA Advantages: Sensi0vity >91%, specificity >99.5% in smear- posi3ve (Dowdy, et al. 2003) >95% posi0ve predic0ve value (PPV) for MTBC Versus 50%- 80% PPV for acid- fast stain (CDC. 2009) Disadvantages: Hands- on assay: tech 0me >1 hour Cost: >$1,000 per kit (exp in 4 weeks) Not approved for bloody specimens

20 Polymerase Chain Reac0on (PCR) Bonus result! Boehme, et al. NEJM, 2010.

21 Polymerase Chain Reac0on (PCR) What do we detect? MTBC (DNA) Bonus!: rifampin resistance Sensi0vity (for MTBC detec0on in smear- posi0ve): 98.2% (Boehme, et al. 2010) Specificity: 99.2% Can be done on bloody specimens Tech 0me: 15 minutes Cost: $60 per cartridge Disadvantage: not FDA approved yet But strongly recommended by WHO

22 Sample digest/decontaminate AFB stain (fluorochrome) + culture broth medium (MGIT tubes) culture agar plate (7H11) Pt treated for NTM (MOTT) Molecular test for MTBC: TMA PCR + Pt treated for TB await cultures Other options for rapid detection of MTBC?

23 Serology? Tests are available Recent systema0c review and meta- analysis: Sensi0vity: 76% (smear- posi0ve) Specificity: 92% Conclusion: serology not accurate Steingart, et al. PLoS Medicine, 2011.

27 Mr. Bowie Fluorochrome stain + TMA and PCR + for MTBC Clinicians start treatment with RIPE Rifampin Isoniazid Pyrazinamide Ethambutol 3 days later, another specimen is sent for AFB smear Is this appropriate?

28 Quiz The CDC recommends that pa0ents with suspected TB disease should remain under airborne precau0ons while they are hospitalized un0l they have a) had 3 consecu0ve nega0ve AFB smears, collected in hour intervals, with at least one being an early morning specimen b) received standard mul0drug an0tuberculosis treatment (minimum of 2 weeks) c) demonstrated clinical improvement d) all of the above Jensen, et al. CDC, 2005.

29 When Will Smears be Nega0ve? Time to sputum conversion in pts with smear- posi0ve TB: Mean: 33 days Median: 23 days Telzak, et al. Clin Infect Dis, I m calling you about Mr. Bowie. Please don t send us anymore specimens for a while. Thanks!

30 Sample digest/decontaminate AFB stain (fluorochrome) + culture broth medium (MGIT TM tubes) culture agar plate (7H11) Pt treated for NTM (MOTT) Molecular test for MTBC: TMA PCR + Pt treated for TB Specimen and antibiotic supplement added await cultures Silicone with O 2 -sensitive fluorescent compound

31 BD BACTEC TM MGIT TM 960

32 Broth- Based Culture (BD BACTEC TM MGIT TM 960) Sensi0vity >99% Time to detec0on: median 14 days At 21 days: 88.2% At 28 days: 100% for ini0al specimens 95% for follow- up Can we report the culture nega0ve before 6 weeks? Tyrrell, et al. CDC, 2012.

33 Sample digest/decontaminate AFB stain (fluorochrome) + culture broth medium (MGIT tubes) _ + culture agar plate (7H11) Pt treated for NTM (MOTT) Molecular test for MTBC: TMA PCR + Pt treated for TB await plate cultures DNA probe for MAC, others fluorochrome and gram stain subculture to 7H11 DNA probe for MTBC _ + - Pt treated for TB - send-out for susceptibility await cultures

36 TB Drugs Henry's clinical diagnosis and management by laboratory methods. 22 nd ed. Elsevier, Mul0- drug resistant (MDR) TB: Resistant to at least 2 primary drugs (ojen isoniazid and rifampin)

37

38

39 TB Resistance Mechanisms Spontaneous chromosomal muta0ons: Not via mobile gene0c elements (e.g. plasmids) ~ 1 bacillus per bacilli lung cavity of 2.5 cm has 10 8 bacilli Need to treat with mul0ple drugs! Pt needs to be compliant! Nachega, et al. Clin Infect Dis, 2003

40 Rifampin resistance: marker for MDR: usually resistant to at least one other agent codons 526, 531 confer high-level resistance codons 511, 516, 519, 522 confer low-level resistance

41 Sample digest/decontaminate AFB stain (fluorochrome) + culture broth medium (MGIT tubes) _ + culture agar plate (7H11) + _ Pt treated for NTM (MOTT) Molecular test for MTBC: TMA PCR + Pt treated for TB await plate cultures fluorochrome and gram stain subculture to 7H11 DNA probe for MTBC _ DNA probe for MAC, others + fluorochrome and gram stain - Pt treated for TB - send-out for susceptibility finalize as negative await cultures

42 Sensitivity: 97.6% Specificity: 98.1% Boehme, et al. NEJM, 2010.

43 Drug Suscep0bility Phenotypic: Gold standard: plate- based Resistance: > 1% resistance to single concentra0on of drug 4- week turnaround 0me Available at CDC

44 Drug Suscep0bility Phenotypic: Broth- based Resistance: O 2 - sensi0ve fluorescence detected in tube with drug Results in 5-8 days Poten0al to bring in- house

45 Recent case MTB/RIF PCR detected rifampin resistance Phenotypic (plate) tes0ng revealed sensi0vity to rifampin codons 526, 531 confer high- level resistance codons 511, 516, 519, 522 confer low- level resistance Is it a low- level resistance muta0on? How could we find out?

46 Suscep0bility Tes0ng by Gene Sequencing Available at CDC (Atlanta, GA)

47

48 Key Points MTBC mycobacteria grow very slowly! Special methods for rapid iden0fica0on and suscep0bility tes0ng are crucial Laboratory directors and staff must: understand and streamline algorithmic tes0ng for MTBC maintain open and effec0ve communica0on with clinical services create efficient working rela0onships with reference laboratories
