Abstract

Although detection of drug-susceptible TB by Anti-Persoonsmijnen Ontmijnende Product Ontwikkeling-trained African giant pouched rats has been known for more than a decade, the detection of drug-resistant TB (DR-TB) using rats has never been explored before. We present what we believe to be the first report on rifampicin-resistant TB (RR-TB) detected using Xpert® MTB/RIF Ultra, comparably identified by rats sniffing sputum samples from presumptive TB patients: 88% of RR-TB detected using Ultra were identified by the rats. Further evaluation of the usefulness of rats for large-scale DR-TB contact triage testing is needed, especially in low- and middle-income countries, where resources are limited.

利用大鼠检测耐药结核病。
尽管十多年前人们就已经知道用经过ontwikkeling训练的非洲巨袋大鼠检测药物敏感结核病,但以前从未探索过用大鼠检测耐药结核病(DR-TB)。我们提出了我们认为是关于使用Xpert®MTB/RIF Ultra检测到的利福平耐药结核病(RR-TB)的第一份报告,可以通过大鼠嗅闻推定结核病患者的痰样本进行比较:使用Ultra检测到的88%的RR-TB被大鼠识别出来。需要进一步评估大鼠用于大规模耐药结核病接触分诊检测的有用性,特别是在资源有限的低收入和中等收入国家。
