Although molecular tests for drug-resistant TB perform well on culture isolates, their accuracy using clinical samples, particularly from TB and HIV-endemic settings, requires clarification. The MTBDRplus and MTBDRsl line probe assays were evaluated in 181 sputum samples and 270 isolates from patients with culture-confirmed drug-sensitive-TB, MDR-TB, or XDR-TB. Phenotypic culture-based testing was the reference standard. Using sputum, the sensitivities for resistance was 97.7%, 95.4%, 58.9%, 61.6% for rifampicin, isoniazid, ofloxacin, and amikacin, respectively, whereas the specificities were 91.8%, 89%, 100%, and 100%, respectively. MTBDRsl sensitivity differed in smear-positive vs. smear-negative samples (79.2% vs. 20%, p < 0.0001 for ofloxacin; 72.9% vs. 37%, p = 0.0023 for amikacin) but not by HIV status. If used sequentially, MTBDRplus and MTBDRsl could rule-in XDR-TB in 78.5% (22/28) and 10.5% (2/19) of smear-positive and smear-negative samples, respectively. On culture isolates, the sensitivity for resistance to rifampicin, isoniazid, ofloxacin, and amikacin was 95.1%, 96.1%, 72.3% and 76.6%, respectively, whereas the specificities exceeded 96%. Using a sequential testing approach, rapid sputum-based diagnosis of fluoroquinolone or aminoglycoside-resistant TB is feasible only in smear-positive samples, where rule-in value is good. Further investigation is required in samples that test susceptible in order to rule-out second-line drug resistance.
虽然耐药结核病的分子检测在培养分离株上表现良好,但使用临床样本(尤其是来自结核病和艾滋病毒流行地区的样本)时其准确性仍需明确。对181份痰标本和270株来自培养确诊的药物敏感结核病、耐多药结核病或广泛耐药结核病患者的分离株进行了MTBDRplus和MTBDRsl线性探针检测。基于培养的表型检测为参考标准。对于痰液样本,利福平、异烟肼、氧氟沙星和阿米卡星耐药的敏感性分别为97.7%、95.4%、58.9%和61.6%,而特异性分别为91.8%、89%、100%和100%。MTBDRsl的敏感性在涂片阳性和涂片阴性样本中有所不同(氧氟沙星分别为79.2%和20%,p<0.0001;阿米卡星分别为72.9%和37%,p=0.0023),但不受艾滋病毒感染状况影响。如果序贯使用,MTBDRplus和MTBDRsl分别可在78.5%(22/28)的涂片阳性样本和10.5%(2/19)的涂片阴性样本中确诊广泛耐药结核病。对于培养分离株,利福平、异烟肼、氧氟沙星和阿米卡星耐药的敏感性分别为95.1%、96.1%、72.3%和76. 在涂片阳性样本中,序贯检测方法仅在涂片阳性样本中可行,其确诊价值良好。对于检测结果为敏感的样本,需要进一步研究以排除二线药物耐药。 6%,而特异性超过96%。使用序贯检测方法,仅在涂片阳性样本中可行快速基于痰液的氟喹诺酮或氨基糖苷类耐药结核病诊断,其确诊价值良好。对于检测结果为敏感的样本,需要进一步研究以排除二线药物耐药。
