Evaluation of four colourimetric susceptibility tests for the rapid detection of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to evaluate four rapid colourimetric methods, including the resazurin microtitre assay (REMA), malachite green decolourisation assay (MGDA), microplate nitrate reductase assay (MNRA) and crystal violet decolourisation assay (CVDA), for the rapid detection of multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis. Fifty Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates were used in this study. Eighteen isolates were MDR, two isolates were only resistant to isoniazid (INH) and the remaining isolates were suscepti… Show more

“…The MIC values of rifampicin, isoniazid, and natural products interpreted using the REMA method were the same as those value obtained using the CVDA method (Table 1). These results are in accordance with the study conducted by Coban et al. (2015), who reported that REMA has the same values as CVDA, in terms of specificity, sensitivity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value on susceptibility testing of isoniazid and rifampicin.…”

“…Studies on the comparison of REMA and CVDA methods have been carried out previously for detection of M. tuberculosis resistance to primary drugs isoniazid and rifampicin. The results showed that both methods have the same sensitivity and specificity (Coban et al., 2015). However, comparison of both methods for DST anti M. smegmatis has never been conducted, yet.…”

“…After this knowledge, CVDA for early detection of MDR-TB was developed by Coban in 2014 . It was reported that agreements for INH and RIF were 94.5-98% and 96.3-98%, respectively ( Coban 2014 , Coban et al 2015) .…”

“…The resazurin microtitre assay (REMA) has been developed as a colorimetric and standard method for drug susceptibility testing. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined according to color changes at the end of incubation [29][30][31]. The strain used, i.e., Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv ATCC 27294 is susceptible to all common antimycobacterial drugs.…”
