3 Slow Fast 1-2 D With increasing drug resistance, DST is vital Suspected MDR Case Solid Culture & DST Liquid Culture & DST Molecular Tests Rapid diagnosis with DST is fundamental

4 India s PMDT Scale up Diagnostic algorithm for DR TB Guidelines on Programmatic Management of DR TB in India 2017

5 Beyond Xpert & LPA : Sequencing in the DR TB world - Sanger Sequencing - Pyrosequencing (PSQ) - Targeted NGS - Whole Genome Sequencing

6 PSQ Outline Principle & Cost Clinical applications Challenges

7 What is pyrosequencing? Real time diagnostic DNA sequencing by synthesis based on actual short segment sequencing (<100bp ) at a speed of 1 min / nucleotide Unlike Sanger sequencing ( chain termination with dideoxynucleotides), PSQ relies on pyrophosphate detection on nucleotide incorporation Can produce clinically relevant results in < 6 hrs from clinical samples Flexible & adaptable to regional prevalence specifics & new mutations

8 DNA extraction PCR amplification of 8 specific targets Post PCR, biotinylated ss DNA template is coupled to streptavidin coated beads Pyrosequencing Software analysis search for 100% identity match in target library containing all expected mutations

9 Pyrosequencing : cascade of enzymatic reactions 1. Iterative dntp dispensation only 1 at a time the order determined by known mutations 2. Incorporation of dntp generates PPi. 3. PPi reacts with substrate & triggers a series of chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes. 4. Nucleotide incorporation catalyses a flash of light 5. Apyrase degrades unincorporated dntp & ATP 6. Pyrogram shows a sequential event of dntps incorporated

10 Pyrogram Target: inha promoter 100% match with wild type sequence. <Sequence read <Nucleotide Dispensation 10

11 Detecting a rpob mutation Complementary nucleotide to the base strand is accompanied by release of pyrophosphate (PPi) which generates light Query 1 TGGACCAGAACAACCCGCTGTCGGGGTTGACCCACAAGCGCC 42 Library1 TGGACCAGAACAACCCGCTGTCGGGGTTGACCCACAAGCGCC 42

42 Mechanisms that underlie resistance Drug resistance in M. tuberculosis is a mixed bag: significant heterogeneity is present with low, moderate & high level phenotypic resistance In high incidence settings an average of 17% of new TB cases, can be multiply infected Clin Microbiol Rev 2011; 2 : doi: /CMR

43 Understanding heterogeneity Upper lobectomy specimen of a 19 year old male with MDR-TB Within the lung, each lesion is independent & engaged in various phases of immune battles at diff metabolic states of TB bacilli

44 Single infecting strain showed heteroresistance Mixed infection in presence of hetero resistance could worsen outcome.

52 PSQ Outline Principle & cost Clinical applications Challenges

53 PSQ : challenges Homopolymers (more than 3-4) Homopolymer string (mainly T) regions influence synchronized extension & synthesis of DNA strand causing non uniform sequence peak heights, affecting read length & possibly cause sequence errors In Smear negative, low sensitivity of gyra & rpob Indeterminate readings (instruments issues, mixed population, new minority mutations) Technical expertise essential PSQ currently standardised for XDR defining drugs

55 Genetic resistance markers Drug Mechanism of Action Genetic Marker Function Frequency (%)

56 Genetic resistance markers Drug Mechanism of Action Genetic Marker Function Frequency (%) Advantages for WGS Sequencing 1) WGS captures complete genetic mutational profile in one test. 2) New mutations identified that relate to adaptive responses (compensatory mutations).

57 WGS for DR conferring mutations XDR drugs : <10% ( LPA WT absent with no mutant) Oral FLD : Ethambutol, PZA Oral SLD : Ethionamide, PAS, cycloserine Re purposed drugs : CFZ, LZD New Drugs : BDG, DLD
