RESUMEN

Objective: To evaluate direct drug susceptibility testing on MGIT 960 system for detection of multidrug resistant tuberculosis from smear positive pulmonary specimens


Study Design: Cross-sectional analytical study


Place and Duration of Study: Microbiology Department, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Rawalpindi, from July 2016 to September 2017


Methodology: Smear positive specimens were pretreated according to guidelines and then tested on MGIT 960 TB system for direct drug susceptibility testing [DST] of isoniazid and rifampin. Samples were also processed by gold standard indirect method, which comprises culture and then DST from positive growth by MGIT 960 TB system


Results: Out of 108 specimens, 95 [88%] DST results were reportable. Out of 95 reportable specimens, 17 isolates were resistant to both isoniazid [INH] and rifampin [RIF] by direct DST. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and diagnostic accuracy for INH were 92%, 93%, 82%, 97% and 92.6%, respectively; and 95%, 96%, 86.3%, 98.6% and 95.7%, respectively for RIF. Average time to report DST by indirect method was 23.6 +/-3.9 days, while it was 11.4 +/- 2.7 days for the direct method


Conclusion: Direct susceptibility testing on MGIT 960 system showed very good agreement when compared with indirect method. Time saving is crucial factor in initiation of early effective therapy, especially in drug resistant cases. Further studies on large scale are required for more accurate evaluation of this method
