The performance of VereMTBTM Detection Kit for detection of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) was validated by using 124 sputum samples. Comparing with MGIT culture, the sensitivity and specificity of VereMTB Detection Kit for MTBC detection were 97.0% and 98.3%, respectively. Compared with MGIT DST, the sensitivity and specificity of VereMTB Detection Kit for RIF resistance detection were 85.7% and 93.9%, respectively, and the sensitivity and specificity of VereMTB Detection Kit for INH resistance detection were 75.0% and 95.7%, respectively. 6 NTM samples were also detected and identified correctly. The VereMTB Detection Kit can detect MDR-TB rapidly and accurately in sputum samples from TB suspects.
VereMTB Detection Kit 对 124 份痰样本进行了检测,验证了其对耐多药结核病(MDR-TB)的检测性能。与 MGIT 培养相比,VereMTB Detection Kit 对 MTBC 的检测灵敏度和特异性分别为 97.0%和 98.3%。与 MGIT DST 相比,VereMTB Detection Kit 对利福平耐药性检测的灵敏度和特异性分别为 85.7%和 93.9%,对异烟肼耐药性检测的灵敏度和特异性分别为 75.0%和 95.7%。6 份非结核分枝杆菌样本也被正确检测和鉴定。VereMTB Detection Kit 可快速准确地检测疑似结核病患者痰样本中的 MDR-TB。
