Abstract
Background Accurate drug susceptibility testing (DST) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is essential for proper patient management. We investigated discordance between genotypic (Xpert MTB/RIF and MTBDRplus) and phenotypic (MGIT 960) methods for the detection of rifampicin (RIF) and isoniazid (INH) resistant MTB and its correlation with patient treatment outcomes in Jimma, Southwest Oromia, Ethiopia. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 57 stored MTB isolates with known Xpert RIF resistance status (45 RIF resistant and 12 RIF susceptible) at Jimma University Mycobacteriology Research Center from November 2, 2021, to December 28, 2022. We did MTBDRplus and phenotypic DST (using the Mycobacterial Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT) system). The Xpert and MTBDRplus results were compared using phenotypic DST as a reference standard method. The treatment outcome was determined as per national guideline. The discordance between the genotypic and phenotypic DST was calculated using GraphPad software. Results Among the 57 MTB isolates, six (10.5 %) had discordant results between the two DST methods. Xpert yielded five discordant results for RIF when compared with phenotypic DST (kappa coefficient (κ) = 0.76, 95 % confidence interval 0.56-0.96). The MTBDRplus compared with phenotypic DST gave three discordant results for RIF (κ = 0.86, 95 % confidence interval 0.71-1.00) and three for INH (κ = 0.86, 95 % confidence interval 0.70-1.00). Compared with Xpert, MTBDRplus yielded lower discordance with phenotypic DST for RIF. Out of six patients with discordant results, three had unfavorable outcomes while the other three were cured. Of the three patients with unfavorable outcomes, only one patient has received an inappropriate treatment regimen. There was no correlation between unfavorable outcomes and incorrect treatment regimens due to discordant results (Χ2 = 0.404; P = 0.525). Conclusions Discordance between genotypic and phenotypic DST for RIF or INH occurred in 10.5 % of isolates. Only one patient with discordant results has received an inappropriate treatment regimen, resulting in an unfavorable outcome. The impact of parallel use of rapid molecular assay with phenotypic DST on patient treatment outcomes requires further study.

Xpert MTB/RIF performance to diagnose tuberculosis and rifampicin resistance in a reference centre in southern Brazil. ERJ Open Res 2019; 5:00043-2019. [PMID: 31404338 PMCID: PMC6680070 DOI: 10.1183/23120541.00043-2019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2019] [Accepted: 06/07/2019] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Effective treatment of tuberculosis (TB) remains a serious public health problem in many countries, including Brazil, especially when considering drug-resistant disease. Xpert MTB/RIF has been implemented in many countries to reduce the time to TB diagnosis and to rapidly detect rifampicin resistance. The study aimed to describe and evaluate Xpert MTB/RIF performance in diagnosing pulmonary TB and rifampicin resistance in a tertiary healthcare facility in Brazil. A cross-sectional study was performed, which included all isolates of confirmed pulmonary TB patients from 2015 to 2018. Both Xpert MTB/RIF and GenoType MTBDRplus assays were performed to detect rifampicin and isoniazid resistance. In addition, isolates with detected resistance to rifampicin and/or isoniazid were analysed by phenotypic testing using MGIT-960 SIRE kit and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) using Illumina MiSeq Sequencing System. 2148 respiratory specimens tested with Xpert MTB/RIF were included: n=1556 sputum, n=348 bronchoalveolar lavage and n=244 gastric washing. The overall Xpert MTB/RIF sensitivity in sputum was 94% and the overall specificity was 98%. The negative predictive value in sputum of all the patients was 99% with a positive predictive value of 89%. The concordance between Xpert MTB/RIF and phenotypic susceptibility test was 94.1%, while its concordance with WGS was 78.9%. Xpert MTB/RIF is a rapid and accurate diagnostic strategy for pulmonary TB, which can contribute to improvement in TB control. However, detection of rifampicin resistance might be associated with false-positive results.

Abstract
Global tuberculosis incidence has declined marginally over the past decade, and tuberculosis remains out of control in several parts of the world including Africa and Asia. Although tuberculosis control has been effective in some regions of the world, these gains are threatened by the increasing burden of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) tuberculosis. XDR tuberculosis has evolved in several tuberculosis-endemic countries to drug-incurable or programmatically incurable tuberculosis (totally drug-resistant tuberculosis). This poses several challenges similar to those encountered in the pre-chemotherapy era, including the inability to cure tuberculosis, high mortality, and the need for alternative methods to prevent disease transmission. This phenomenon mirrors the worldwide increase in antimicrobial resistance and the emergence of other MDR pathogens, such as malaria, HIV, and Gram-negative bacteria. MDR and XDR tuberculosis are associated with high morbidity and substantial mortality, are a threat to health-care workers, prohibitively expensive to treat, and are therefore a serious public health problem. In this Commission, we examine several aspects of drug-resistant tuberculosis. The traditional view that acquired resistance to antituberculous drugs is driven by poor compliance and programmatic failure is now being questioned, and several lines of evidence suggest that alternative mechanisms-including pharmacokinetic variability, induction of efflux pumps that transport the drug out of cells, and suboptimal drug penetration into tuberculosis lesions-are likely crucial to the pathogenesis of drug-resistant tuberculosis. These factors have implications for the design of new interventions, drug delivery and dosing mechanisms, and public health policy. We discuss epidemiology and transmission dynamics, including new insights into the fundamental biology of transmission, and we review the utility of newer diagnostic tools, including molecular tests and next-generation whole-genome sequencing, and their potential for clinical effectiveness. Relevant research priorities are highlighted, including optimal medical and surgical management, the role of newer and repurposed drugs (including bedaquiline, delamanid, and linezolid), pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic considerations, preventive strategies (such as prophylaxis in MDR and XDR contacts), palliative and patient-orientated care aspects, and medicolegal and ethical issues.

Utility of Phenotypic and Genotypic Testing in the Study of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Resistance to First-Line Anti-Tuberculosis drugs. Arch Bronconeumol 2016; 53:192-198. [PMID: 28277228 DOI: 10.1016/j.arbres.2016.08.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2016] [Revised: 08/09/2016] [Accepted: 08/10/2016] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the utility of molecular techniques in the diagnosis of resistance and the extent of resistance to first-line drugs in our region. MATERIAL AND METHOD From 2004 to 2013, 1,889 strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolated in Asturias, Spain, were studied using phenotypic (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines) and molecular (INNOLiPA RIF-TB©; GenotypeMDRplus©; GenotypeMDRsl©) sensitivity tests. RESULTS 1,759 strains (94.52%) were sensitive to all first-line drugs, and 102 strains (5.48%) showed some resistance: 81 strains (4.35%) were resistant to 1 single drug, 14 (0.75%) were polyresistant, and 7 (0.37%) were multiresistant (resistant to rifampicin and isoniazid). In total, 137 resistances were identified: 60 to isoniazid (3.22%), 7 to rifampicin (0.37%), 9 to pyrazinamide (0.48%), 11 to ethambutol (0.59%), and 50 to streptomycin (2.68%). Of the mutations detected, 75.9% (63/83) correlated with resistance, while 24.09% of mutations detected (20/83) were not associated with resistance; 16 of these involved a silent mutation at codon 514 of the rpoB gene. Between 0 and 90% of strains, depending on the drug under consideration, were resistant even when no gene mutations were detected using marketed systems. CONCLUSIONS Molecular techniques are very useful, particularly for obtaining rapid results, but these must be confirmed with standard phenotypic sensitivity testing. The rate of resistance in our region is low and multi-drug resistantcases (0.37%) are sporadic.
