Cambau - Susceptibility testing of M. tuberculosis strains

Primary and secondary resistance

• Secondary resistance or acquired resistance – Drug resistance appearing during treatment – Results of selection and multiplication of resistant

mutant isolates pre-existing in the tubercle bacillus population before therapy

Emmanuelle CAMBAU - ECCMID 2011- EW8

p p py– Resistance rate observed in re-treatment cases

• Primary resistance– Drug resistance observed before treatment, – Consequence of exposure to a drug-resistant source

of infection– Resistance rate observed in new cases

Which drugs are tested for DST-MTB?

• First line drugs = drugs used in the standardized treatment of Tuberculosis H(6)R(6)E(2)Z(2)– Isoniazid (H) and Rifampicin (R) are the major

antituberculous drugsEthambutol (E) is a companion drug important in case

Emmanuelle CAMBAU - ECCMID 2011- EW8

– Ethambutol (E) is a companion drug important in case of isoniazid resistance

– Streptomycin (S), is not now part of most of standard treatments but still reflect the past treatment

– Pyrazinamide (Z) is part of the standard treatment, but difficulties in obtaining DST reliable results

• Second line drugs– will be presented by Thomas Shön

When DST-TB should be done for the patient ?

• Definite case of tuberculosis – First positive culture for the MTBC – First specimens smear-positive for acid-fast

Emmanuelle CAMBAU - ECCMID 2011- EW8

p pbacilli if culture is not yet available

• Should be repeated when the culture is still positive after 5 months of treatment

Page 7: EW08 01 Cambau.ppt [Kompatibilitätsmodus]

Cambau - Susceptibility testing of M. tuberculosis strains

Direct and indirect testing

• Indirect testing– Cultures of M. tuberculosis complex (after

identification)– Cultures in liquid or solid media (after

Emmanuelle CAMBAU - ECCMID 2011- EW8

Cultures in liquid or solid media (after checking purity)

• Direct testing – smear-positive specimens after classical

decontamination

Definitions• Resistance : decrease in sensitivity compared to wild type strains

(never came into contact with the drug). unlikely to show clinical responsiveness to the drug

• Susceptibility : level of sensitivity not significantly different from wild type strains

lik l t h li i l i t th d

Emmanuelle CAMBAU - ECCMID 2011- EW8

likely to show clinical responsiveness to the drug

• Critical concentration: the lowest drug concentration at which wild type strains did not grow

• Critical proportion: The lowest percentage of the strain population that may grow at the critical concentration and which is associated with clinical ineffectiveness of that drug – 1% for first line drugs

Heifets L, ARRD 1988Mitchison DA, 1968

Performances of DST-MTB methods

• Detect resistance – No false resistant : low specificity– No false susceptibility : low sensitivity

Emmanuelle CAMBAU - ECCMID 2011- EW8

• Assess susceptibility– No false resistant : low sensitivity– No false susceptibility : low specificity

Kim et al. 2004

Cambau - Susceptibility testing of M. tuberculosis strains

Methods for DST-MTB

• Proportion method on solid or in liquid medium– use critical concentrations and critical proportions

• Resistance Ratio method– Use MIC determination and comparison with wild type

Emmanuelle CAMBAU - ECCMID 2011- EW8

Use MIC determination and comparison with wild type or reference strains

• Absolute concentration method– Use critical concentrations

• MIC determination– To define in vitro activity of a drug

• Many others Drobniewski, F.et al. CMI 2007.

Media and automates• Media

– egg-based solid: Löwenstein-Jensen, Ogawa, Coletsos

– synthetic solid or liquid: Middlebrook (7H9, 7H10, 7H11)

Emmanuelle CAMBAU - ECCMID 2011- EW8

)

• Automate vs. Manual– Handling – Safety– Number of DST per month– Cost

Availability of DST results for surveillance of resistance in tuberculosis

Emmanuelle CAMBAU - ECCMID 2011- EW8

Cambau - Susceptibility testing of M. tuberculosis strains

The Proportion Method

• LJ medium, and then modified for liquid medium• calculates the proportion of resistant bacilli present in a

strain• The critical proportion was assessed by a study of a

patient cohort in the 1960s who failed tuberculosis treatment

Emmanuelle CAMBAU - ECCMID 2011- EW8

treatment – > 1% : resistant because risk of failure and relapse with

overgrowth of resistant mutants– < 1% : sensitive because no risk of failure if at least two active

drugs are given• Growth controls: 2 to 3 inocula (10-fold diluted) growing

in absence of drug

Cambau - Susceptibility testing of M. tuberculosis strains

Endpoints for DST-TB results• Critical concentration

– MIC (or concentration inhibiting growth) is below => susceptible

– MIC is higher => resistant• Critical proportion

Emmanuelle CAMBAU - ECCMID 2011- EW8

• Critical proportion– measured proportion below => susceptible– measured proportion higher => resistant

• Time to mature growth :– 12 days, 21 days, 28 days or 42 days depending on

the media and on the method– If the strain grows slower (such as MDR) => no result

What are MDR and XDR strains?

• Multidrug resistant M. tuberculosis (MDR): – at least resistant to isoniazid and rifampicin

• Extensively resistant M. tuberculosis

Emmanuelle CAMBAU - ECCMID 2011- EW8

y(XDR-TB)– MDR (isoniazid and rifampicin resistant)– and– resistant to fluoroquinolones – and to the following injectable drugs (amikacin,

kanamycin, capreomycin, viomycin)

Report of results• Reporting of susceptibility results easily done for

each drug tested when the method is done correctly

• Priority reporting iti l t b l i

Emmanuelle CAMBAU - ECCMID 2011- EW8

– smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis – cases which appear to be MDR-TB

• should be given directly to the clinician in charge of the patient

• Routine reporting should contain the start date of testing and the date of reporting

11

Page 12: EW08 01 Cambau.ppt [Kompatibilitätsmodus]

Cambau - Susceptibility testing of M. tuberculosis strains

Levels of resistance?

• The level of resistance may be of interest for some drugs (isoniazid, streptomycin, ethambutol) if it can be determinedExample of isoniazid: H R(0 1) H R(0 2) H R(1)

Emmanuelle CAMBAU - ECCMID 2011- EW8

• Example of isoniazid: H-R(0.1), H-R(0.2), H-R(1)• A report of low resistance does not imply that the

drug will not be given • A report of a high level of resistance implies that

the drug is of no use to the patient

Quality and expertise

• Experience in the chosen method• Skilled technicians • Quality controls

– Internal quality control

Emmanuelle CAMBAU - ECCMID 2011- EW8

– External quality control program• Evaluation

– Efficiency in DST-MTB (number of success/ number of tests done, number of repeated test, time to results)

– Primary and secondary resistance rates– Reproducibility– Concordance with molecular testing

Rush-Gerdes et al. 1999

When and how should 2nd line drugs be tested ?

• When ?– Confirmed or high suspicion of MDR/XDR TB– Previous treatment with 2nd line drugs

H ?• How ?– Indirect proportion method

• Slow but validated– Liquid methods

• BACTEC 960 MGIT– Solid based methods

• 7H10 • Löwenstein Jensen

Drug resistant TB - definitions• Drug resistant tuberculosis

– TB resistant to any first line antituberculosis drug

• Multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB)– TB resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampicinTB resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampicin

• Extensively drug resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB)– MDR TB + resistance to a fluoroquinolone and a

second line injectable agent (amikacin, capreomycin, or kanamycin)

Schön - Susceptibility to second line drugs

In total: ~ 500 000 MDR TB and ~50 000 XDR TB cases !MDR TB, 15 % in previously treated and 3 % in new patients

Basic treatment strategy for MDR TB

• At least 5 drugs– A Fluoroquinolone – An Injectable j– Ethambutol and/or Pyrazinamide if susceptible

• If DST result not present - consult surveillance data– 1-3 Group IV-drugs– Ethionamide/Protionamide, Cycloserine, PAS

Schön - Susceptibility to second line drugs

Which 2nd line drugs should be tested?

• MDR-TB strains should be tested for 2nd line drugs– Internal and external control programs (QC)– Primarily Group II and III drugs

• High reliability and reproducibility of DSTR i t t th d d fi XDR• Resistance to these drugs defines XDR

– Rapid molecular testing is recommended (MTBDRsl) – Identifying MDR TB (RIF R) directly on sputum samples

• Increase diagnostic speed, further 2nd line testing• Line probe assay, Hain MTBDR+, GeneXpert

• In reference laboratories– Group IV (LJ) and V drugs: Ethionamide, Cycloserine, PAS

Challenges for 2nd line DST• Second-line DST has not been standardized internationally

• The drug critical concentration is close to the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) required for antimycobacterial activity– Increased misclassification of susceptibility or resistance

• Lack of correlation to clinical response

• Varation in testing systems and critical concentrations– Bactec 960 MGIT, LJ, 7H10

• Systematic evaluation of all available DST methods simultaneously for all available SLDs ?

Policy guidance on drug-susceptibility testing (DST) of second-lineantituberculosis drugs. WHO 2008.WHO/HTM/TB/2008.392

• Low resistance level for many years (rapidly changing !) • Current “critical concentrations” – clinical correlation ?• Lack of published wild type distributions

Problems in susceptibility testing against Mycobacterium

tuberculosis

• Lack of published wild type distributions • Drug combinations used • No clearly defined PD targets (AUC/MIC, Cmax/MIC)• Bactericidal AND sterilizing effect needed

WHO/HTM/TB/2009.420 (2010): “Susceptibility testing for isoniazid, rifampicin, thefluoroquinolones, and the injectable agents is fairly reliable. For other agents it isless reliable, and basing individualized treatments on DST for these agentsshould be avoided. The clinical effectiveness or ineffectiveness of a drugcannot be predicted by DST with 100% certainty.”

Can we be sure about the critical concentrations for 2nd line drugs?

• Determined by consensus when 2nd line drug resistance was very low– In other bacterial and fungal pathogens 3 basic

components are used to determine clinicalcomponents are used to determine clinical breakpoints

• Wild type distributions• PK/PD determination• Clinical outcome data

– Clinical outcome data for individual 2nd line drugs very difficult to achieve for TB

Schön - Susceptibility to second line drugs

WHO/HTM/TB/2009.420 (p 90):

“DST results should complement, rather than invalidate, other sources of data on the likely effectiveness of a specific drug.

For example, if a history of prior anti-TB drug use suggests that a drug is likely to be ineffective, that drug should not be relied on as one of the four core drugs in the regimen, even if DST shows the strain to be susceptible.

Alternatively, if the patient has never taken a particular drug and resistance to that drug is extremely uncommon in the community, DST results that indicate resistance g y y,may be the result case of a laboratory error or of the limited specificity of DST for some second-line drugs.

Since a fluoroquinolone and an injectable agent form the backbone of MDR treatment, they should be used even if the patient’s M. tuberculosis demonstrates resistance to all available drugs in these two classes.”

-> The development of a harmonized, reproducible and quality controlled 2nd line DST is urgently needed !

What is the usefulness of MIC-determinations of M. tuberculosis ?

• To identify the wild type distribution for TB drugs– Determine ECOFF (epidemiological wild type cut off)– Isolates below ECOFF probably susceptible – ECOFF for epidemiological screening

• Optimized dosing strategy in MDR and XDR TB– Determine MIC and drug concentration - TDM – Minimize side effects and maximize the effect– PK/PD calculations
