Validation of the GenoType®MTBDRplus assay for diagnosis of multidrug resistant tuberculosis in South Vietnam

Abstract: BackgroundTo control multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), the drug susceptibility profile is needed to guide therapy. Classical drug susceptibility testing (DST) may take up to 2 to 4 months. The GenoType® MTBDRplus test is a commercially available line-probe assay that rapidly detects Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) complex, as well as the most common mutations associated with rifampin and isoniazid resistance.We assessed sensitivity and specificity of the assay by using a geographically representative… Show more

“…This is lower than the 21% to 33% contribution of resistance due to the sole absence of WT probe hybridization reported in India, France, and Vietnam (29)(30)(31). Interestingly, in the current study, no katG-associated INH resistance was due the sole absence of WT probe hybridization at katG as opposed to 6% of results previously reported in India and 9% in Vietnam (29,32).…”

“…et al, has found that by conventional DST, 55 strains were classified as MDR-TB, four strains were rifampicin mono-resistant and 52 strains were susceptible to all first-line drugs. The sensitivity of the GenoType ® MTBDRplus assay was 93.1% for rifampicin, 92.6% for isoniazid and 88.9% for the combination of both; its specificity was 100% [15]. However, the specificity of GenoType ® MTBDRplus assay to detect MDR-TB, in our study, was lower than that found in other studies conducted elsewhere in the world [7,9,15].…”

“…Here most of the costs for molecular testing were influenced by consumable costs, especially the cartilage which accounted for 30% of the total cost. Studies [64], reported that GeneXpert and MTBDRplus are the two WHO recommended platforms for rapid detection of TB and drug-resistant TB and many low and middle-income countries qualify for negotiated discounts on these assays. This has implications in that the costs reported in this study are likely to come down after discount thereby increasing affordability.…”
