Multiple Cross Displacement Amplification Combined With Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Platform: A Rapid, Sensitive Method to Detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis

In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of multiple cross displacement amplification (MCDA) combined with real-time PCR platform in pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients. Total 228 PTB patients and 141 non-TB cases were enrolled. Based on the analysis of the first available sample of all...

Sumario:In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of multiple cross displacement amplification (MCDA) combined with real-time PCR platform in pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients. Total 228 PTB patients and 141 non-TB cases were enrolled. Based on the analysis of the first available sample of all participants, MCDA assay showed a higher overall sensitivity (64.0%), with a difference of more than 10% compared with Xpert MTB/RIF (Xpert) assay (51.8%, P < 0.05) and combined liquid and solid culture (47.8%, P < 0.001) for PTB diagnosis. In particular, MCDA assay detected 31 probable TB patients, which notably increased the percentage of confirmed TB from 57.9% (132/228) to 71.5% (163/228). The specificities of microscopy, culture, Xpert and MCDA assay were 100% (141/141), 100% (141/141), 100% (141/141), and 98.6% (139/141), respectively. Among the patients with multiple samples, per patient sensitivity of MCDA assay was 60.5% (52/86) when only the first available sputum sample was taken into account, and the sensitivity increased to 75.6% (65/86) when all samples tested by MCDA assay were included into the analysis. Therefore, MCDA assay established in this study is rapid, accurate and affordable, which has the potential in assisting the accurate and rapid diagnosis of PTB and speed up initiation of TB treatment in settings equipped with real-time PCR platform.
