Abstract:

Objective:To evaluate the value of the gene chip method and fluorescence quantitative PCR-probe melting curve method in the direct detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) drug resistance in clinical specimens of tuberculosis patients. Methods:Forty-four clinical specimens of hospitalized tuberculosis patients in the Senior Department of Tuberculosis, the 8th Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital were selected. Using the absolute concentration method of the traditional drug susceptibility test as the control, the drug resistance of MTB to rifampicin and isoniazid in clinical samples was directly detected by the gene chip method, and the drug resistance of MTB to rifampicin, isoniazid, and levofloxacin in the clinical specimens was directly detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR-probe melting curve method, to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, and consistency of these two molecular drug susceptibility test methods. Results:The traditional drug susceptibility test was used as the standard, the sensitivity, specificity, consistency, and Kappa value of MTB to rifampicin resistance in 44 clinical samples directly detected by the gene chip method were 87.5% (14/16), 96.4% (27/28), 93.2% (41/44) and 0.851, respectively; for the isoniazid resistance were 85.7% (12/14), 96.7% (29/30), 93.2% (41/44) and 0.758, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, consistency, and Kappa value of MTB to rifampin resistance in 44 clinical samples directly detected by the probe melting curve method were 87.5% (14/16), 89.3% (25/28), 88.6% (39/44), and 0.840, respectively; for isoniazid resistance were 85.7% (12/14), 83.3% (25/30), 84.1% (37/44), and 0.653, respectively; for the levofloxacin resistance were 85.0% (17/20), 100.0% (24/24), 93.2% (41/44), and 0.861, respectively. Conclusion:The gene chip method and probe melthing curve method have a high consistency with the absolute concentration method in detecting the drug resistant of MTB to rifampicin, isoniazid (and levofloxain) in clinical specimens,which can be used as a reference for clinical chemotherapy.
