Pyrosequencing for rapid detection of tuberculosis resistance to Rifampicin and Isoniazid in Syrian and Lebanese clinical isolates

Abstract: The high sensitivity and the short turnaround time combined with multilocus sequencing of several isolates in parallel make pyrosequencing an attractive method for drug resistance screening for MTB.

“…1 Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is a form of TB infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) resistant to at least two of the most powerful first-line anti-TB drug treatments: Rifampicin and Isoniazid. 1,2 Xpert MTB/RIF assay is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) since 2010 as an initial test to diagnose MDR-TB. 3,4 Xpert MTB/RIF assay is a semi-quantitative nested real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test that can detect deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of MTB rapidly.…”

“…6 However, the Xpert MTB/RIF assay only detects the rpoB gene mutations as Rifampicin resistance is a surrogate marker of MDR-TB. 2,5,7 Rifampicin-resistant TB (RR-TB) interpreted by the Xpert MTB/RIF assay diagnosed as MDR-TB was less accurate because the Xpert MTB/RIF assay cannot detect katG, inhA, and/or ahpC gene mutations that are associated with Isoniazid resistance. 8,9 Pyrosequencing is a DNA analysis based on nucleotide sequencing by inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) synthesis to know nucleotide mutations directly and specifically.…”

“…Molecular tests (e.g. polymerase chain reaction (PCR)) that target specific microorganisms have proven to be more rapid and sensitive than culturing [14], yet need a priori knowledge of the likely pathogenic species that could be present in a sample. As a complementary approach to culture, Sanger sequencing of the variable 16S rRNA gene has emerged for identification purposes [15].…”
