Evaluation of a Rapid Molecular Drug-Susceptibility Test for Tuberculosis.
BACKGROUND Fluoroquinolones and second-line injectable drugs are the backbone of treatment regimens for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, and resistance to these drugs defines extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis. We assessed the accuracy of an automated, cartridge-based molecular assay for the detection, directly from sputum specimens, of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with resistance to fluoro...
متن کاملField evaluation of a rapid immunochromatographic test for tuberculosis.
Rapid diagnostic tests for tuberculosis (TB) are needed to facilitate early treatment of TB and prevention of Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission. The ICT Tuberculosis test is a rapid, card-based immunochromatographic test for detection of antibodies directed against M. tuberculosis antigens. The objective of the study was to evaluate the performance of the ICT Tuberculosis test for the dia...
متن کاملEvaluation of rapid radiometric method for drug susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
A total of 106 isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis were tested for drug susceptibility by the conventional 7H11 plate method and by a new rapid radiometric method using special 7H12 liquid medium with 14C-labeled substrate. Results obtained by the two methods were compared for rapidity, sensitivity, and specificity of the new test method. There was 98% overall agreement between the results o...
متن کاملEvaluation of rapid alternative methods for drug susceptibility testing in clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
A study was carried out to compare the performance of a commercial method (MGIT) and four inexpensive drug susceptibility methods: nitrate reductase assay (NRA), microscopic observation drug susceptibility (MODS) assay, MTT test, and broth microdilution method (BMM). A total of 64 clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis were studied. The Lowenstein-Jensen proportion method (PM) was used...
متن کاملRapid Drug Susceptibility Test of Mycobacteria Tuberculosis by Single Cell Tracking Method in 3d Agarose Matrix
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of major global health problems. To make matters worse, the drug resistant TB such as multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) is spreading out throughout the world which means the drug susceptibility test (DST) is necessary to treat the TB patients. To reduce the time for DST, we applied the single cell tracking me...
