Use of an immunochromatographic assay for rapid identification of complex clinical isolates in routine diagnosis Free

Abstract

Accurate identification of complex (MTBC) isolates is essential for tuberculosis (TB) control, especially in a high-burden country such as Brazil. Conventional identification methods are laborious and time-consuming, while rapid molecular methods are expensive and require skilled personnel and appropriate physical laboratory infrastructure. Immunochromatographic assays (ICAs) have been shown to provide a rapid and reliable TB diagnosis at a low cost. The use of the SD Bioline TB Ag MPT64 ICA (MPT64 assay) for rapid identification of MTBC clinical isolates in the routine diagnosis of a large-volume reference TB laboratory was evaluated. We analysed 375 isolates on solid and liquid media concurrently with conventional phenotypic methods, the PRA-65 molecular technique and the MPT64 assay. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the ICA were 97.7, 100 and 98.1 %, respectively. The MPT64 assay yielded rapid and accurate results, enabling the treatment to be initiated early and also impacting on TB control.
