Sensititre MYCOTB MIC plate for testing Mycobacterium tuberculosis susceptibility to first- and second-line drugs.

ABSTRACT: For Mycobacterium tuberculosis, phenotypic methods for drug susceptibility testing of second-line drugs are poorly standardized and technically challenging. The Sensititre MYCOTB MIC plate (MYCOTB) is a microtiter plate containing lyophilized antibiotics and configured for determination of MICs to first- and second-line antituberculosis drugs. To evaluate the performance of MYCOTB for M. tuberculosis drug susceptibility testing using the Middlebrook 7H10 agar proportion method (APM) as the comparator, we conducted a two-site study using archived M. tuberculosis isolates from Uganda and the Republic of Korea. Thawed isolates were subcultured, and dilutions were inoculated into MYCOTB wells and onto 7H10 agar. MYCOTB results were read at days 7, 10, 14, and 21; APM results were read at 21 days. A total of 222 isolates provided results on both platforms. By APM, 106/222 (47.7%) of isolates were resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampin. Agreement between MYCOTB and APM with respect to susceptibility or resistance was ?92% for 7 of 12 drugs when a strict definition was used and ?96% for 10 of 12 drugs when agreement was defined by allowing a ± one-well range of dilutions around the APM critical concentration. For ethambutol, agreement was 80% to 81%. For moxifloxacin, agreement was 83% to 85%; incorporating existing DNA sequencing information for discrepant analysis raised agreement to 91% to 96%. For MYCOTB, the median time to plate interpretation was 10 days and interreader agreement was ?95% for all drugs. MYCOTB provided reliable results for M. tuberculosis susceptibility testing of first- and second-line drugs except ethambutol, and results were available sooner than those determined by APM.

Project description:IntroductionAlthough Sensititre Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MYCOTB) plate offers both drug susceptibility testing (DST) and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) results, it has not been evaluated against both Lowenstein Jensen (LJ) and Middlebrook 7H10 (MB7H10) DST methods at standard critical concentrations.Materials and methodsWe analyzed 76 M. tuberculosis isolates consisting of 54 isolates from the Uganda National TB drug resistance survey done December 2009-February 2011 and 22 isolates from the World Health Organization External Quality Assessment panel for the year 2011. All isolates were tested for LJ, MB7H10 and MYCOTB plate based DSTs for streptomycin, isoniazid, rifampicin and ethambutol anti-tuberculosis drugs. The agreement of MB7H10 with LJ and accuracy of MYCOTB plate using either LJ-DST or MB7H10 as a reference standard were determined.ResultsThe agreement (kappa) of MB7H10 with LJ was; 0.687 for rifampicin, 0.498 for isoniazid, 0.275 for streptomycin and 0.082 for ethambutol which as almost similar when compared with MYCOTB plate. The sensitivity (95% confidence interval; CI) of MYCOTB plate when LJ was used as a reference standard was higher for streptomycin 87.5% (81.6-98.4) followed by isoniazid 75.9% (65.1-95.6) and rifampicin 73.1% (52.2-88.4). When MB7H10 was used as reference standard, the sensitivity of MYCOTB plate improved significantly; isoniazid 96.2% (80.3-99.9), rifampicin 94.0 (83.4-98.7) and 93.8% (69.7-99.8). There was good agreement between MYCOTB plate and MB7H10; 1.00 for ethambutol, 0.959 for streptomycin, 0.915 for rifampicin and 0.778 for isoniazid.ConclusionsThe performance of the two culture-based reference standards for phenotypic first-line drug susceptibility testing methods, LJ and MB7H10, varied much even with acceptable MYCOTB plate MICs. There was acceptable agreement and accuracy of MYCOTB plate for drug susceptibility testing when MB7H10 was used as reference standard than with LJ-DST. Results from MIC information makes the MYCOTB plate more suitable for guiding clinicians on the choice of the most appropriate TB treatment regimen as well as limits of detection for TB drug resistance.

Project description:Rapid molecular diagnostics have great potential to limit the spread of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) (M/XDR-TB). These technologies detect mutations in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome that confer phenotypic drug resistance. However, there have been few data published regarding the relationships between the detected M. tuberculosis resistance mutations and M/XDR-TB treatment outcomes, limiting our current ability to exploit the full potential of molecular diagnostics. We analyzed clinical, microbiological, and sequencing data for 451 patients and their clinical isolates collected in a multinational, observational cohort study to determine if there was an association between M. tuberculosis resistance mutations and patient mortality. The presence of an rrs 1401G mutation was associated with significantly higher odds of patient mortality (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 5.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.65 to 19.84]) after adjusting for relevant patient clinical characteristics and all other resistance mutations. Further analysis of mutations, categorized by the associated resistance level, indicated that the detection of mutations associated with high-level fluoroquinolone (OR, 3.99 [95% CI, 1.10 to 14.40]) and kanamycin (OR, 5.47 [95% CI, 1.64 to 18.24]) resistance was also significantly associated with higher odds of patient mortality, even after accounting for clinical site, patient age, reported smoking history, body mass index (BMI), diabetes, HIV, and all other resistance mutations. Specific gyrA and rrs resistance mutations, associated with high-level resistance, were associated with patient mortality as identified in clinical M. tuberculosis isolates from a diverse M/XDR-TB patient population at three high-burden clinical sites. These results have important implications for the interpretation of molecular diagnostics, including identifying patients at increased risk for mortality during treatment.
