Conditions

Isoniazid Resistant Pulmonary Tuberculosis, Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis, Pulmonary Tuberculoses, Rifampicin Resistant Tuberculosis

Brief summary

This is a multi-center, blinded study to determine the performance of the YD Diagnostic Corporation (YD) REBA MTB-MDR® and Hain Genotype MTBDRplus V2 kit in a total of 600 clinical isolates and 900 residual sputum samples from patients with symptoms of pulmonary TB (PTB) and at risk of drug resistance. All testing was done on stored, de-identified leftover samples. The study involved three World Health Organization (WHO) Supranational Reference Laboratories with well-characterized strain collections and access to sputum samples with significant rates of drug resistance.

Interventions

DEVICEYD REBA MTB-MDR

Conducted on stored, de-identified leftover samples. A line probe assay designed for detection of Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). The REBA MTB-MDR® assay is a qualitative in vitro test for the identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) complex and its susceptibility to rifampin and isoniazid from cultured samples and smear positive specimens.

DEVICEHain Genotype MTBDRplus V1

Conducted on stored, de-identified leftover samples. There is only one Line Probe Assay for molecular MTB drug resistance globally available, the GenoType® MTBDRplus V.1 from Hain Lifescience. This assay includes rpoB gene probes for Rifampin (RIF) resistance, katG gene probes for high level Isoniazid (INH) resistance, and inhA gene probes for determination of low level INH resistance

DEVICEHain Genotype MTBDRplus V2

Conducted on stored, de-identified leftover samples. An updated version of the Hain Genotype MTBDRplus V1 assay, the Genotype MTBDRplus V.2 line probe assay, showed increased sensitivity for MTB detection in the 2 studies published so far
