Specimen Collection and Transport
Transport Updates Recommend cold pack for transport of sputum to the laboratory Assessing State-wide courier service to assure optimal delivery of specimens Free courier service is available: Dunham Express 1-800-236-7127 WSLH no fee account is #7271
Submission of Patient Specimens to WSLH for Mycobacteriology Testing WSLH Respiratory Collection Kit #8 Order: 1-800-862-1088 Kits are free Insulated mailer with labels Absorbent pad Cold pack Sterile plastic conical tube with label Sealable biohazard specimen transport bag Instruction sheet 5
Smear and Culture Updates Sputum Recommended volume of sputum is 5-10 ml (no less than 3 ml). Specimen will be rejected if 1 ml of clear liquid is received Blood no longer performing smear on peripheral blood specimens due to very low bacterial concentrations in these specimens For other specimen requirements see the WSLH Clinical Testing reference manual http://www.slh.wisc.edu/wslhapps/refman/wslhsearch.p hp
Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing (NAAT) Updates
WSLH Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing (NAAT) Updates Respiratory Non- Respiratory Smear Positive TB and MAC PCR Smear Negative* TB PCR TB and MAC PCR TB PCR (*) Smear Negative TB PCR testing is fee-exempt if patient is considered a TB suspect and reported to the State TB Program
WSLH Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing (NAAT) Updates Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) includes: M. tuberculosis, M. bovis, M. bovis BCG, M. caprae, M. microti, M. africanum, M. canettii, M. pinnipedii, and M. mungi M. avium complex includes: including M. avium, M. avium subsp. avium, M. avium subsp. avium M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis, M. intracellulare, M. chimaera, M. arosiense, M. colombiense, M. marseillense, M. bouchedurhonense, and M. timonense.
WSLH Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing (NAAT) Updates For diagnostic purposes, best practice to perform smear and culture even if PCR/NAAT is being performed Culture is more sensitive than PCR Culture needed for phenotypic (culture-based) drug susceptibility testing

Mycobacteria ID
WSLH Mycobacteria Identification WSLH uses a combination of MALDI-TOF, PCR and DNA sequencing for identification No longer performing HPLC No longer performing Accuprobe testing No longer performing biochemical reactions for ID Advantages and challenges to our new testing algorithm
WSLH Complicated ID Algorithm Specimen Triage Positive Culture containing AFB Amount of growth Patient history Time to positive in MGIT instrument TB/MAC PCR MALDI-TOF Inconclusive results 16S and rpob DNA sequencing Report Conclusive Results 18
Detection of Drug Resistance
Universal Molecular Detection of Drug Resistance for new TB patients MTBC-positive sediment or culture Patients with known risk factors for drug resistance Patients without known risk factors for drug resistance CDC MDDR Program Pyrosequencing and Sanger sequencing for detection of mutations that confer resistance Milwaukee City Health Department Laboratory Cepheid GeneXpert for detection of mutations that confer resistance 20
Molecular Detection of Drug Resistance for MTBC CDC MDDR Program City of Milwaukee Laboratory Method Used Initial molecular analysis Additional molecular analysis Pyrosequencing and Sanger sequencing INH and rifampin ethambutol, PZA, fluoroquinolones, injectables Cepheid GeneXpert rifampin
Still Need Culture-Based DST If we have molecular methods to detect resistance, why do we need to perform culture-based testing? Presence of a mutation does not always result in phenotypic resistance A wild-type sequence does not always confirm that a strain is susceptible We do not know every possible locus leading to resistance for any antibiotic 22
