ADVANCES in BACTERIOLOGICAL
DIAGNOSIS of TUBERCULOSIS
Assoc. Prof. Alpaslan Alp
Hacettepe University Faculty of MedicineDepartment of Medical Microbiology
Tuberculosis in the World • WHO 2009:
• 14 million cases• 1.68 million
death
3
Undetected probable cases in 2009 (WHO)
4
WHO 2009:
• WHO; case detection rate in 2009: 63%
• Half of TB cases are detectable in Africa.
• Patients do not admit• Inadequate diagnostic tools
5
Laboratory Diagnosis
• Smear microscopy: 20-80% sensitivity in culture-confirmed cases.
• At least two sputum specimens are necessary.
• Problem in HIV-infected and pediatric patients.
6
Laboratory Diagnosis
• Culture: Results can be obtained in several weeks.
• Well-equipped laboratories are necessary.

Rate limiting step in TB control: Case Detection
• 625.000 life/year could be saved by using tests with 100% accuracy.
• 392.000 life/year could be saved by using tests with 85% sensitivity and 97% specificity…22.4% of deaths due to TB.
For the laboratory diagnosis of TB;
Is there an IDEAL TEST?
• with high sensitivity,• with high specificity,• easy to perform,• rapid,• cheap…
9
For the laboratory diagnosis of TB;
There is NO IDEAL TEST !
• Molecular methods– Diagnostic tests– Tests detecting resistance
• Point of care tests
10
Possible candidates could arise from which test group?
Drug Susceptibility Tests
• Phenotypic Methods:– Solid Media
• Löwenstein-Jensen medium• Middlebrook agar
– Rapid culture systems (liquid media)• Bactec 460• MGIT• Mycolor-TK
• Genotypic Methods:– Mutation detection methods
• Reverse hybridization (Strip tests)• Real-time PCR• DNA sequencing
Molecular Methods
• 1-2 days• Well-standardized commercial methods
• Inno-Lipa Rif TB• Hain MDRTBplus• Cepheid Xpert MTB/RIF
Direct susceptibility testing
• Should be performed in smear-positive cases.• Rapid; reflects bacteria population better;
cheaper.• Calibration of inoculum is more difficult;
normal respiratory flora can grow despite decontamination process
• Overall rate of failure can be 10-15% or more.
Direct susceptibility testing
• MTBDR strip test• MTBDRplus strip test• Nitrate reduction assay• MODS: Microscopic observation drug
susceptibility
Direct Susceptibility TestsMeta-Analysis Study
• The studies in which INH and RIF resistance detected by direct method were selected.
• Eighteen studies out of 64, were included in meta-analysis.

Method Turn around time
MTBDR 1-2 days
MTBDRplus 1-2 days
Nitrat Red. Assay 3 weeks
MODS 3 weeks
WHO Recommendations for Strip Tests-2008
• Adoption of line probe assays for rapid detection of MDR-TB should be decided by Ministries of Health.
• Direct testing of sputum smear-positive specimens and indirect test on isolates grown from smear-negative and smear-positive specimens are adequately validated.
• Direct use on smear-negative specimens is not recommended.
• Adoption of line probe assays does not eliminate the need for conventional culture and DST.
24
Point of Care Tests
• Tests performed instantly, near the patient
• Should be cheap, accurate, practical• Should be performed in any treatment
site without any need for a specialized laboratory.
• Should be performed on different specimens like blood, urine and breath
• Duration:<3saat (even 15min…5min)
25
Lipoarabinomannan
• Lipoarabinomannan (LAM): within Mtb cell wall,
• 17.5 kDa, heat-stable, glycolipid
• 15% of bacterial weight • Immunogenic, virulence
factor
26

• Mtb Ag85B in cough• Collection tube containing Ab;
fluorescent response• Sensitivity 74%, specificity 79%

Xpert MTB/RIF Assay
• Product of a collaborative study:– FIND (Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics)
– Cepheid (USA)
– University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey
• Detection of M. tuberculosis and rifampicin resistance in two hours.
• A “hemi-nested real-time PCR” that uses three primers and five probes.
Xpert MTB/RIF Assay
Satisfactory results were obtained in the studies that were performed in 2010:
• Sensitivity in smear-positive culture-positive specimens: 99%
• Sensitivity in smear-negative culture-positive specimens: 90%
Xpert MTB/RIF Assay Meta-Analysis Study
• Eighteen study had been chosen among 90 studies.
• A total of 10.224 specimen– 2983 bacteriological TB diagnosis– 6183 smear and culture-negative
• Average sensitivity for diagnosis of TB: 90.4%• Average specificity for diagnosis of TB : 98.4%
Xpert MTB/RIF Assay Meta-Analysis Study
• Average sensitivity for detection of rifampicin resistance: 94.1%
• Average specificity for detection of rifampicin resistance: 97.0%
• Average sensitivity in extra-pulmonary specimens: 80.4%
• Average specificity in extra-pulmonary specimens : 86.1%
Xpert MTB/RIF AssayMeta-Analysis Study
COMMENT:
• Xpert MTB/RIF assay fulfills the requirements of rapidly and effectively diagnosing TB and RIF resistance.
• Since the mutation points in 5% RIF-resistant Mtb isolates occur outside core gene region, they would not be identified by Xpert MTB/RIF assay.
TB Scent• Giant African pouched rats trained to
detect TB evaluated sputum samples from 10.523 patients whose sputum had previously been evaluated by smear microscopy.
• Microscopists found 13.3% of the patients to be positive.
• Screening of the samples by rats revealed 620 new TB-positive patients, increasing the case detection rate by 44%.

TB Scent
• 10 well-trained giant African pouched rats (Cricetomys gambianus)

samples; an additional 927 samples were also found to be positive by the rats, increasing the case detection rate by 44%.
