Newer modalities in TB diagnosis
• IGRA assay Interferon (IFN)-γ Assay• Microscopy LED• Culture :Liquid Medias: BACTEC,• BAC T/ALERT 3D, MGIT• DNA NAAT: Real-time PCR, LIPA• Enzyme Assay: ADA
QUANTIFERON-TB GOLD in place of Mantoux test .
INTERFERON G ASSAY (IGRA)
IFN-γ
QUANTIFERON-TB GOLD .
IN VITRO TEST
ESAT-6 ,CFP-10 synthetic peptides are used
(Absent in BCG and most NTM)
stimulate T-cells from infected people
releasing IFN-γ, from These T-cells
*early secretory antigenic target-6
**culture filtrate protein-10
LTBI V/S DISEASE ?
- TST V/S IGRA
QUANTIFERON-TB GOLD .• Objective , and controlled test
Reduces subjectivity in TB diagnosis• Simple diagnostic cut-off (> .35 IU/ml IFN-γ = + )
Straight forward positive/negative interpretation • Eliminates 2 step testing• No ‘booster’ effects in-vitro• Faster turn-around, results in 24 - 48 hours• Results are electronic (computer generated reports)
INDIAN STUDY USING QUANTIFERONTB GOLD• Dogra S, Narang P, Mendiratta DK, Chaturvedi P, Reingold AL, Colford JM Jr, Riley LW, Pai M.
Comparison of a
• whole blood interferon-gamma assay with tuberculin skin testing • . ( J Infect 2007; 54:267–76.)• Compared QFT to the TST in 105 children ( suspected of TB, or had contact with an index
case).
• 11 children (10.5%) were QFT positive, whereas the• TST was positive in 15 (15%) at ≥5mm, 11 (10.5%) at ≥10mm, or 4 (4%) at • ≥15mm• .
• Concordance of TST with QFT was high (95%) at the 10mm TST cut off
• All subjects with≥15mm TST , were QFT positive. • There were• no indeterminate QFT results, despite 40% children being <4 years old
, and 57% of them being malnourished.
SUMMARY of IGRA TESTING IGRAs are recommended for1. Contacts of active TB Close contacts (HIGH RISK) TST OR IGRA if either is positive, treat for “L TB I” (latent infection) Casual contacts (LOW RISK) can have IGRA confirmation if TST is positive to verify infection v/s BCG or MOTT2. Immune compromised “suspected child" TST first, if negative do IGRA and if IGRA positive treat as LTBI
M.TB. STAINING BY ZEIL-NEILSON STAIN
• >1,000 Organism per ml sputum required for ordinary microscope.
• Fluorescent, LED microscope detects even 100 M.TB. organism per ml
AFB + SPUTAM SMEAR
FIND and Carl Zeiss fluorescent LED microscope based on the proven Primo Star platform.( FIND/Zeiss microscope offers superior optics, reflected light illumination, easy switch from bright field to fluorescent light)
MYCOBACTERIAL CULTUREMYCOBACTERIAL CULTURE
Culture remains the gold standard for lab confirmation of TB
Advantages:
Increases number of case detection Detects cases among smear negative patients Establishes viability of organisms Distinguishing between Mycobacterial species Helps in performing DST (drug sensitivity test) Helps in diagnosing cases of treatment failure
Limitations:
Expensive Require enriched media Require considerable expertise Time consuming
Processing of sputum with CPC MethodProcessing of sputum with CPC Method
If delay of more than 48 hours between collection and processing is anticipated, the sputum should be collected with 1%CPC and 2%NaCl2
CPC acts as homogenizing and decontaminating agent
It helps in retaining viability of Tubercle bacilli up to 7 days
These specimens should not be treated with NaOH ( Petroff’s)
Culture: Extra-Pulmonary SamplesCulture: Extra-Pulmonary Samples
Aseptically collected samplesBody fluids:Spinal ,Pleural, Pericardial, Synovial, ascitic, Blood, Pus & Bone marrowTissues:Lymph node, Needle biopsies or Tissue biopsiesSpecimens known to contain contaminating flora:Gastric lavage, Bronchial washings & Urine

• Microscopic Observation of Broth Culture &• MODS Micro Colony Detection System (slide culture)• Septi-check AFB : Non radiometric, Non automated• MGIT 960 : Automated. monitors every 60min.
O2 utilization, Intensification of O2 quenching fluorescent dye
• MB/BAC T - ALERT : Non radiometric, colorimetric detection of CO2
• BACTEC Radiometric
BACTEC 460 TB System(radio metric)BACTEC 460 TB System(radio metric) Developed in 1969 by Deland and Wagner.
Principle BACTEC 12B vial , utilize 14C labeled substrate (fatty acid) On inoculation, mycobacteria, grow & release 14CO2. The BACTEC instrument measures quantitatively the radioactivity
on a scale ranging from 0-999, as GI.(Growth Indicator) The daily increase in GI is proportional to growth in the medium. DST Drug Susceptibility Test When ATT is introduced in the medium reduced production of 14CO2 and decrease in GI.
MB BACT-ALERT 3DLIGHT EMITTING SENSORS
The MGIT 960 System
The MGIT 960 system is a non-radiometric automated system that uses the MGIT media & sensors to detect the fluorescence.
Advantages:
-The system holds 960 plastic tubes which are continuously monitored.
- Early detection with the machine monitoring & reading the tubes every hour.
II Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT)
Tube contains modified Middle brook 7H9 broth base with OADC enrichment & PANTA antibiotic mixture.
All types of clinical specimens, pulmonary as well as extra-pulmonary ( except blood ) could be cultured on this type of media.
The OADC supplement
O ----- Oleic acid ( Metabolic stimulant)
A ----- Albumin ( to bind toxic free fatty acid )
D ---- Dextrose (Energy source )
C ----- Catalase ( Destroy toxic peroxides that may be present in the medium )
The PANTA antibiotic mixture
P ---- Polymyxin B A ---- Amphotericin B N ---- Nalidixic acid T ---- Trimethoprim A ---- Azlocillin+/- Vancomycin
The antibiotic mixture inhibits the growth of contaminating bacteria.
Principle of the procedure:(MGIT)
A fluorescent compound (which is sensitive to O2) is embedded in silicone on the bottom of the tube.
The actively respiring microorganisms consume the oxygen & allow the fluorescence to be observed using UV trans-illuminator lamp.
III Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) & Gene probe
Nucleic acid Amplification Tests polymerase enzymes amplify specific DNA sequences, using Nucleic acid probes, using DNA extracted from MTB in the sample.
Advantages:
- Rapid procedure ( 3 – 4 hours)
- High sensitivity (1-10 bacilli / ml sputum)
CDC recommends NAAT for all suspected TB cases
PCR ASSAY The thermal cycling, DNA melting separates the strands of DNA double helix at 95°C Heat-stable DNA Taq polymerase, ( Bacteria Thermus aquaticus.) Enzymatically assembles new DNA strands(selectively amplify ) using DNA primers ( DNA oligonucleotides.) & template(each strand) at 55 °C The selectivity of PCR results from the use of primers that are complementary to the DNA region targeted for amplification under specific thermal cycling conditions.
RR
REALTIME-PCR ASSAY• A TB specific primer and probe mix is provided and
this can be detected through the FAM channel.• The primer and probe mix exploits the so-called
TaqMan® principle.• During PCR amplification, forward and reverse primers
hybridize to the TB DNA/Cdna• . A fluorogenic probe is included in the same reaction
mixture , it consists of a DNA probe labelled with a • 5`-dye (reporter) and a 3`-quencher. (5’3’DQ)• During PCR amplification, the probe is cleaved and the
Reporter dye and Quencher are separated.• The resulting increase in fluorescence can be detected
on a range of real-time PCR platforms
PCR ASSAY• The PrimerDesign™ genesig Kit for Mycobacterium
Tuberculosis (TB) Genomes is designed• for the in vitro quantification of TB genomes. • The kit is designed to have the broadest detection profile
possible whilst remaining specific to the TB genome.• The primers have 100% homology with all other reference
sequences in the NCBI database.• Fig 1 Accession numbers for detected TB isolates.• CP000717.1, CP000611.1, AM408590.1, U43540.1,
AE000516.2, BX842583.1, BX842577.1,• BX842572.1, BX248339.1, U35021.1, U35017.1,
AF041819.1, BX248346.1, BX248334.1,
Disadvantages:
- Very expensive.- Require specialist training & equipment.- False positive results.( CONTAMINATION)
- Can not differentiate between living & dead bacilli. .
- Sputum specimens (3%--7%) might contain inhibitors that prevent or reduce amplification and cause false-negative NAA results.
RAPID RECOGNITION OF DRUG RESISTANCE
• PCR PROBES ARE AVAILABLE
• KAT-gene INH RESISTANCE• RPO gene RIFAMPICIN RESISTANCE• GYR –A FLUROQUINOLOE RESISTANCE• LIPA( Line Probe Assay ) amplified DNA is applied to
strips with probe for M.TB. And Rif. resistance

As regards the no. of culture yield:
The best yield, was with BACTEC 460, followed by BACTEC MGIT 960 , & then with L J medium.
As regards contamination rate:
L J medium (17%) had the highest contamination rate (Tortoli E, Cichero P,Et al. 1999) then the MGIT 960 ( 10.0% )
