A pilot study: VereMTB detection kit for rapid detection of multidrug-resistant mycobcterium tuberculosis in clinical sputum samples.

ABSTRACT: 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.

Project description:Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the most important infectious diseases globally. Establishing a resistance profile from the initial TB diagnosis is a priority. Rapid molecular tests evaluate only the most common genetic variants responsible for resistance to certain drugs, and Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) needs culture prior to next-generation sequencing (NGS), limiting their clinical value. Targeted sequencing (TS) from clinical samples avoids these drawbacks, providing a signature of genetic markers that can be associated with drug resistance and phylogeny. In this study, a proof-of-concept protocol was developed for detecting genomic variants associated with drug resistance and for the phylogenetic classification of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (Mtb) in sputum samples. Initially, a set of Mtb reference strains from the WHO were sequenced (WGS and TS). The results from the protocol agreed >95% with WHO reported data and phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (pDST). Lineage genetics results were 100% concordant with those derived from WGS. After that, the TS protocol was applied to sputum samples from TB patients to detect resistance to first- and second-line drugs and derive phylogeny. The accuracy was >90% for all evaluated drugs, except Eto/Pto (77.8%), and 100% were phylogenetically classified. The results indicate that the described protocol, which affords the complete drug resistance profile and phylogeny of Mtb from sputum, could be useful in the clinical area, advancing toward more personalized and more effective treatments in the near future. IMPORTANCE The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the progress in accessing essential Tuberculosis (TB) services and reducing the burden of TB disease, resulting in a decreased detection of new cases and increased deaths. Generating molecular diagnostic tests with faster results without losing reliability is considered a priority. Specifically, developing an antimicrobial resistance profile from the initial stages of TB diagnosis is essential to ensure appropriate treatment. Currently available rapid molecular tests evaluate only the most common genetic variants responsible for resistance to certain drugs, limiting their clinical value. In this work, targeted sequencing on sputum samples from TB patients was used to identify Mycobacterium tuberculosis mutations in genes associated with drug resistance and to derive a phylogeny of the infecting strain. This protocol constitutes a proof-of-concept toward the goal of helping clinicians select a timely and appropriate treatment by providing them with actionable information beyond current molecular approaches.
