The INNO-LiPA Rif.TB assay for the identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex strains and the detection of rifampin (RIF) resistance has been evaluated with 360 smear-positive respiratory specimens from an area of high incidence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). The sensitivity when compared to conventional identification/culture methods was 82.2%, and the specificity was 66.7%; the sensitivity and specificity were 100.0% and 96.9%, respectively, for the detection of RIF resistance. This assay has the potential to provide rapid information that is essential for the effective management of MDR-TB.
采用INNO-LiPA Rif.TB检测法对结核分枝杆菌复合群菌株进行鉴定并检测利福平(RIF)耐药性,该检测法已在耐多药结核病(MDR-TB)高发地区的360份涂片阳性呼吸道标本中进行了评估。与传统鉴定/培养方法相比,其灵敏度为82.2%,特异性为66.7%;检测RIF耐药性的灵敏度和特异性分别为100.0%和96.9%。该检测法有可能提供快速信息,这对MDR-TB的有效管理至关重要。
