Isoniazid and rifampin drug susceptibility testing: application of 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride assay and microscopic-observation drug-susceptibility assay directly on Ziehl-Neelsen smear positive sputum specimens.
UNLABELLED The current study was aimed to evaluate the performance of direct 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride assay and direct microscopic observation drug susceptibility assay with indirect Löwenstein-Jensen proportion method directly on Ziehl-Neelsen smear positive sputum specimens. METHODS Direct acid fast bacilli smear positive sputum specimens (n=264) were subjected to isoniazid and ...
متن کاملPerformance of the microscopic observation drug susceptibility assay in drug susceptibility testing for Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
The drug susceptibility testing performance of a broth-based method with microscopic reading of bacillary growth, the microscopic observation drug susceptibility (MODS) assay, was compared to that of the reference 7H10 agar method of proportion by using 53 isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from persons at risk for multidrug-resistant TB. For isoniazid (0.1 micro g/ml) and rifampin (2.0 mic...
متن کاملMicroscopic-observation drug-susceptibility assay for the diagnosis of TB.
BACKGROUND New diagnostic tools are urgently needed to interrupt the transmission of tuberculosis and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Rapid, sensitive detection of tuberculosis and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in sputum has been demonstrated in proof-of-principle studies of the microscopic-observation drug-susceptibility (MODS) assay, in which broth cultures are examined microscopically t...
متن کاملClinical evaluation of the microscopic observation drug susceptibility assay for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis resistance to isoniazid or rifampin.
This prospective study evaluated the performance of the microscopic observation drug susceptibility (MODS) assay for the direct detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug resistance. MODS assay sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were 96.7% (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 92.1 to 98.8%), 78.4% (95% CI, 73.5 to 80.6%), 82.4% (95% CI, 78.4 to 84.2%), and 95....
متن کاملMicroscopic observation drug susceptibility assay for tuberculosis screening before isoniazid preventive therapy in HIV-infected persons.
BACKGROUND Active tuberculosis (TB) must be excluded before initiating isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) in persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), but currently used screening strategies have poor sensitivity and specificity and high patient attrition rates. Liquid TB culture is now recommended for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in individuals suspected of havin...
