Evaluation of Microscopic Observation Drug Susceptibility (MODS) and the string test for rapid diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in HIV/AIDS patients in Bolivia

Lora, Meredith H.; Reimer-McAtee, Melissa J.; Gilman, Robert Hugh; Lozano, Daniel; Saravia, Ruth; Pajuelo Travezaño, Monica Jhenny; Bern, Caryn; Castro, Rosario; Espinoza, Magaly; Vallejo, Maya; Solano, Marco; Challapa, Roxana; Torrico, Faustino (BioMed Central, 2015)

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is the most common opportunistic infection and the leading cause of death in HIV-positive people worldwide. Diagnosing TB is difficult, and is more challenging in resource-scarce settings where ...
A field evaluation of the Hardy TB MODS kit™ for the rapid phenotypic diagnosis of tuberculosis and multi-drug resistant tuberculosis

Martin, Laura; Coronel, Jorge; Faulx, Dunia; Valdez, Melissa; Metzler, Mutsumi; Crudder, Chris; Castillo, Edith; Caviedes, Luz; Grandjean, Louis; Rodriguez, Mitzi; Friedland, Jon S.; Gilman, Robert Hugh; Moore, David Alexander James (Public Library of Science, 2014)

BACKGROUND: Even though the WHO-endorsed, non-commercial MODS assay offers rapid, reliable TB liquid culture and phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (DST) at lower cost than any other diagnostic, uptake has been patchy. ...
Second-line drug susceptibility breakpoints for Mycobacterium tuberculosis using the MODS assay

Trollip, A. P.; Moore, David Alexander James; Coronel, J.; Caviedes, L.; Klages, S.; Victor, T.; Romancenco, E.; Crudu, V.; Ajbani, K.; Vineet, V. P.; Rodrigues, C.; Jackson, R. L.; Eisenach, K.; Garfein, R. S.; Rodwell, T. C.; Desmond, E.; Groessl, E. J.; Ganiats, T. G.; Catanzaro, A. (International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, 2014)

OBJECTIVE: To establish breakpoint concentrations for the fluoroquinolones (moxifloxacin [MFX] and ofloxacin [OFX]) and injectable second-line drugs (amikacin [AMK], kanamycin [KM] and capreomycin [CPM]) using the microscopic ...
Validation of microscopic observation drug susceptibility testing for rapid, direct rifampicin and isoniazid drug susceptibility testing in patients receiving tuberculosis treatment

Coronel, J.; Roper, M. H.; Herrera, C.; Bonilla, C.; Jave, O.; Gianella, C.; Sabogal, I.; Huancaré, V.; Leo, E.; Tyas, A.; Mendoza-Ticona, A.; Caviedes, L.; Moore, David Alexander James (Elsevier, 2014)

Drug susceptibility testing (DST) is often needed in patients clinically failing tuberculosis (TB) therapy. Most studies of phenotypic direct drug susceptibility tests, such as microscopic observation drug susceptibility ...
