“…As 93 % of all FQ-resistant strains have mutations in the gyrA gene region included in our assay [22], this result was lower than expected. However, our diagnostic sensitivity measures were in the range of those reported by Lacoma et al, who reported 40 % sensitivity for detection of OFX resistance and 70.8 % for the detection of MOX resistance for a PSQ assay including the same gyrA gene regions as our study, tested against strains from Spain and Lithuania [25]. Furthermore, only 14–15 phenotypically MOX- and OFX-resistant specimens were analyzed in Moldova, which may have led to a chance oversampling of specimens missing these common mutations.…”

“…Molecular tests may show discordant results when compared to phenotypic DST based on critical concentration testing. 74,98,[105][106][107][108][109][110][111][112] The clinical consequences of the limitations in the accuracy of molecular resistance assays depend on the drug, but follow a general pattern. False-positive test results will lead to drug-susceptible TB being treated with one or more second-line drugs, i.e., treatment that is generally more toxic, less effective, prolonged and more expensive.…”
