Detection of tuberculosis drug resistance: a comparison by Mycobacterium tuberculosis MLPA assay versus Genotype®MTBDRplus

Abstract: BACKGROUND To cope with the emergence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), new molecular methods that can routinely be used to screen for a wide range of drug resistance related genetic markers in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome are urgently needed.OBJECTIVE To evaluate the performance of multiplex ligaton-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) against Genotype® MTBDRplus to detect resistance to isoniazid (INHr) and rifampicin (RIFr).METHOD 96 culture isolates characterised for identification, dru… Show more

“…TB-SPRINT and TB-SNPID are Nucleic-Acid PCR-based Amplication Tests (NAAT) that provide simultaneous MTC genotyping subspecies identification and first-line (TB-SPRINT) and first and second-line (TB-SNPID) predictive drug-resistance genotyping (see Table 1 for marker description) [611]. These assays use the versatility provided by microsphere hybridization systems that are analyzed either by flow cytometry or by fluorescence imaging using high-throughput analytical devices [12, 13].…”

“…Also, c516 mutants are from GAC to TAC, GTC or GGC with a mutation rate of 10% . Moreover, studies have shown that 90% of RIF-resistant strains are also resistant to INH, so the rpoB gene mutates into the signature locus of MDR-TB . Therefore, detecting these mutations is critical to monitoring drug resistance.…”
