10 Use of Genotype MTBDR Assay for Molecular Detection of Rifampin and Isoniazid Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Clinical Strains Isolated in Italy 206 isolates from the Italian drug resistance surveillance system Results were compared to conventional drug susceptibility test and verified by genome sequencing rate of concordance 91.5% (130 of 142) for rifampin i 67.1% (116 of 173) for isoniazid Miotto P, et al.

Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values 98.9, 99.4, 97.9, and 99.7%, for rifampicin resistance; 94.2, 99.7, 99.1, and 97.9%, for isoniazid resistance; 98.8, 100, 100, and 99.7%,for MDR TB Barnard M, et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2008;177: tested with 125 clinical isolates and directly with 72 smear tested with 125 clinical isolates and directly with 72 smearpositive sputum specimens identify RMP resistance correctly in 74 of 75 strains (98.7%) and 30 of 31 specimens (96.8%) the new GenoType MTBDRplus assay enhanced the rate of detection of INH resistance from 66 (88.0%) to 69 (92.0%) among the 75 INH resistant strains 36 (87.8%) to 37 (90.2%) among the 41 specimens containing INH resistant strains. 10

15 Diagnosis of Drug Resistant TB: Reliability and Rapidity of Detection For the choices of methods, appropriateness and sustainability should be considered in conjunction with the prospects of complete population coverage. Excellent coverage will only be feasible through decentralization of simple, low requirement methods or alternatively by centralized genotypic DST with, in principle, easy specimen referral. The small differences in DST turnaround time are relatively unimportant, provided primary culture isolation is not required. Conventional slow DST will still be needed for confirmation and for epidemiological monitoring. Ven Deun A. Int J Tuberc Lung Dis

23 Assay Procedure for the MTB/RIF Test N Engl J Med 2010;363: Assay Procedure for the MTB/RIF Test Among culture positive patients, a single, direct MTB/RIF test identified 551 (98.2%) of 561 patients with smear positive tuberculosis 124 (72.5%) of 171 with smear negative tuberculosis. A second MTB/RIF test increased sensitivity by 12.6% points and a third by 5.1% points, to a total of 90.2%. As compared with phenotypic drug susceptibility testing, MTB/RIF testing correctlyidentified 97.6% rifampin resistant bacteria and 98.1% rifampin sensitive bacteria. N Engl J Med 2010;363:

24 Feasibility, diagnostic accuracy, and effectiveness of decentralised use of the Xpert MTB/RIF test for diagnosis of tuberculosis and multidrug resistance One off MTB/RIF testing detected 933 (90.3%) of 1033 culture confirmed confirmed cases of tuberculosis, compared with 699 (67.1%) of 1041 for microscopy. MTB/RIF in smear negative, culture positive patients sensitivity 76.9% (296 of 385 samples), specificity 99.0% (846 of 2876 non tuberculosis samples). MTB/RIF test for rifampicin resistance sensitivity 94.4% (236 of 250) specificity 98.3% (796 of 810). Lancet 2011; 377: Feasibility, diagnostic accuracy, and effectiveness of decentralised use of the Xpert MTB/RIF test for diagnosis of tuberculosis and multidrug resistance Median time to detection of tuberculosis MTB/RIF test was 0 days (IQR 0 1), microscopy 1 day (0 1), solid culture 30 days (23 43), liquid culture 16 days (13 21). Median time to detection of resistance line probe assay 20 days (10 26) conventional drug susceptibility testing 106 days (30 124). The indeterminate rate of MTB/RIF testing was 2.4% (126 of 5321 samples) compared with 4.6% (441 of 9690) for cultures. Lancet 2011; 377:

25 Rapid Implementation of the Xpert MTB/RIF diagnostic test WHO March 2011 Policy recommendations 1. Xpert MTB/RIF should be used as the initial diagnostic test in individuals suspected of having MDR TB or HIV associated TB. (Strong recommendation) 2. Xpert MTB/RIF may be considered as a follow on test to microscopy in settings where MDR TB or HIV is of lesser concern, especially in further testing of smear negative specimens. (Conditional recommendation acknowledging major resource implications) WHO/HTM/TB/

In all low income countries, the prevalence of RMP resistance is less than 5% among patients who have never previously been treated for TB (with two exceptions) and, for the most part, even less than 2%. For these naive TB patients, any MTB/RIF test result requires an alternative confirmatory test for a definitive diagnosis of RMP resistance.
