We describe the design, development, analytical performance and a limited clinical evaluation of the 10-color Xpert MTB/XDR assay (CE-IVD only, not for sale in the US). This assay is intended as a reflex test to detect resistance to Isoniazid (INH), Fluoroquinolones (FLQ), Ethionamide (ETH) and Second Line Injectable Drugs Drugs (SLID) on unprocessed sputum samples and concentrated sputum sediments which are positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The Xpert MTB/XDR assay simultaneously amplifies eight genes and promoter regions in M. tuberculosis and analyzes melting temperatures (Tms) using sloppy molecular beacon probes (SMB) to identify mutations associated with INH, FLQ, ETH and SLID resistance. Results can be obtained under 90 minutes and requires 10-color GeneXpert modules. The assay can differentiate low versus high-level resistance to INH and FLQ as well as cross-resistance versus individual resistance to SLIDs by identifying mutation-specific Tms or Tm patterns generated by the SMB probes. The assay has a Limit of Detection comparable to the Xpert MTB/RIF assay and succesfully detected 16 clinically significant mutations in a challenge set of clinical isolate DNA. In a clinical study performed at two sites with 100 sputum and 214 clinical isolates, the assay showed a sensitivity of 94-100% and a specificity of 100% for all drugs except for ETH when compared to sequencing. The sensitivity and specificity when compared to phenotypic drug susceptibility testing were in the same range. Used in combination with a primary tuberculosis diagnostic test, this assay is expected to expand the capacity for detection of drug-resistant tuberculosis. |
