We examined the correlation between three different methods of quantification: time to positivity (TTP), log CFU, and an assay to detect differentially detectable (DD Mtb) from three different prospective studies. Participants with DD Mtb have significantly more variation in the CFU/TTP correlation than participants with no DD Mtb ( < 0.001). This may impact the design of early bactericidal activity studies that use TTP as the primary outcome.
阳性时间(TTP)、logCFU 和检测差异可检测 (DD Mtb) 的检测,它们与三项前瞻性研究相关。与无 DD Mtb 的参与者相比,DD Mtb 参与者的 CFU/TTP 相关性变化更大(<0.001)。这可能会影响使用 TTP 作为主要结局的早期杀菌活性研究的设计。
