“…Type of affected organ, the extent of infection and possible intermittent presence of mycobacteria in the urine play a role as well [10,12,13] . Semen is very rarely used for diagnosis [14] as its sensitivity is rather low. Data for detection of non-tuberculous mycobacteria from semen are lacking.…”

“…Additional tests for ETB are frequently negative, including negative skin PPD tests and pseudo-negative QuantiFERON-TB tests [12]. Although QuantiFERON TB-2G and immunebased blood assays, which do not require a specimen from the affected organ for microbiological or histological examination, may serve as alternative diagnostic tools [9,13,14]. Other TB diagnostic methods include serological tests by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), which do not have sufficient sensitivity and specificity to be useful [15,16].…”

The limited sensitivity of serological tests for mycobacterial antigens has encouraged the development of a nanoparticle probe specific for the extrapulmonary form of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). We developed an innovative probe comprised of super-paramagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles conjugated with Mtb surface antibody (MtbsAb-nanoparticles) to provide ultrasensitive imaging of biomarkers involved in extrapulmonary Mtb infection. MtbsAb-nanoparticles were significantly conjugated with Mtb bacilli. The extent of contrast enhancement reduction on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for Mtb and human monocytic THP1 cells was proportional to the concentration of MtbsAb-nanoparticles. When MtbsAb-nanoparticles were intravenously injected into mice bearing Mtb granulomas, the granulomatous site showed a 14-fold greater reduction in signal intensity enhancement on T(2) -weighted MR images compared with an opposing site that received PBS injection. Mtb sAb-nanoparticles represent a new non-invasive technology for the diagnosis of extrapulmonary Mtb.
