Diagnosing osteoarticular tuberculosis and detecting rifampicin resistance: A comparative analysis of Truenat MTB Plus vs GeneXpert Ultra
Setting
Diagnosing osteoarticular tuberculosis (OATB) and detecting drug resistance is a challenge in an endemic country like India.
Objective
Truenat MTB Plus assay (TruPlus), a chip-based portable machine, was compared with GeneXpert Ultra (GxUltra) for diagnosing drug-resistant OATB.
Design
115 synovial fluid and pus specimens [22 culture-positive confirmed, 58 culture-negative clinically-suspected, 35 non-TB controls] processed between 2017 and 2023 were subjected to TruPlus, GxUltra and multiplex-PCR for diagnosing OATB. They were further screened for rifampicin resistance using TruRif chip. The performance was evaluated against composite reference standard, phenotypic drug susceptibility testing and rpoB gene sequencing.
Results
TruPlus, GxUltra and MPCR detected 77.5 %, 71.25 %, and 83.75 %, cases of OATB, respectively. TruPlus detected five additional cases missed by GxUltra. The performance of TruPlus was comparable to GxUltra (p = 0.074) and to MPCR (p = 0.074), while performance of GxUltra was significantly inferior to MPCR (p = 0.004). The overall agreement with reference standard was substantial for TruPlus and MPCR and moderate for GxUltra. Both TruRif and GxUltra reported 4 cases as rifampicin resistant.
Conclusion
TruPlus along with TruRif offers better sensitivity than GxUltra. Its compact and portable platform allows wider application in peripheral settings, thus making it a pragmatic solution for diagnosing OATB and its drug resistance.
期刊介绍:
Tuberculosis is a speciality journal focusing on basic experimental research on tuberculosis, notably on bacteriological, immunological and pathogenesis aspects of the disease. The journal publishes original research and reviews on the host response and immunology of tuberculosis and the molecular biology, genetics and physiology of the organism, however discourages submissions with a meta-analytical focus (for example, articles based on searches of published articles in public electronic databases, especially where there is lack of evidence of the personal involvement of authors in the generation of such material). We do not publish Clinical Case-Studies.
Areas on which submissions are welcomed include:
-Clinical TrialsDiagnostics-
Antimicrobial resistance-
Immunology-
Leprosy-
Microbiology, including microbial physiology-
Molecular epidemiology-
Non-tuberculous Mycobacteria-
Pathogenesis-
Pathology-
Vaccine development.
This Journal does not accept case-reports.
The resurgence of interest in tuberculosis has accelerated the pace of relevant research and Tuberculosis has grown with it, as the only journal dedicated to experimental biomedical research in tuberculosis.
