Abstract
IMPORTANCE In this study, we successfully established a new One-Pot method, named TB One-Pot, for detecting Mtb in sputum by combining CRISPR-cas12b-mediated trans-cleavage with cross-priming amplification (CPA). Our study evaluated the diagnostic performance of TB One-Pot in clinical sputum samples for tuberculosis. The findings provide evidence for the potential of TB One-Pot as a diagnostic tool for tuberculosis.

Abstract
ObjectivesTo evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Platform (LAMP) in detecting pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB).MethodsThis multicenter prospective study was conducted at six sites in China from June, 2018 to December, 2019. Patients with suspected PTB were consecutively recruited and respiratory samples were collected from all patients. LAMP, Xpert MTB/RIF assay (Xpert), fluorescence smear microscopy, and BACTEC MGIT 960 liquid culture (Mtb culture) were performed for each sample. Diagnostic accuracy indices were calculated against Mtb culture results.ResultsA total of 845 participants were enrolled, but only 799 were included in the analysis. The sensitivities of LAMP, Xpert, and smear microscopy were 78.6% (239/304), 82.2% (250/304), and 63.8% (194/304), respectively, and their specificities were 88.7% (439/495), 86.1% (426/495), and 94.9% (470/495), respectively. The LAMP assay showed substantial agreement with other tests (kappa 0.64–0.79).ConclusionThe LAMP assay performs as well as Xpert MTB/RIF assay and Mtb culture in tertiary-care hospitals. It can be used as an alternative test for detecting PTB with the advantages of being fast, inexpensive, and easy to operate.

Abstract
More sensitive, rapid, and affordable diagnostic tools for pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) are urgently needed. This study aimed to assess the performance of EasyNAT MTC (abbreviation: EasyNAT) (Ustar Biotechnologies, China), a novel isothermal amplification method with a turnaround time of less than two hours that requires a few manual steps to process the sputum. Sputum samples from 249 patients with suspected PTB were subjected to smear, culture, Xpert MTB/RIF (Cepheid, USA) and EasyNAT assay testing. Of the 169 PTB patients, EasyNAT detected more PTB patients than Xpert (72.19% vs. 61.54%, P < 0.05, χ2 = 4.326). Both the Xpert assay and EasyNAT assay detected almost all the culture-positive sputa successfully, but EasyNAT yielded more positive results among the smear-negative and culture-negative PTB cases (44.59% (33/74) vs. 22.97% (17/74), P < 0.01, χ2 = 7.732). Although the specificity of EasyNAT was lower in contrast to Xpert [95.00% (76/80) vs. 98.75% (79/80)], the difference was not significant (P = 0.363, χ2 = 0.826). EasyNAT could be used as an initial test for PTB diagnosis due to its simplicity, rapid turnaround time, high sensitivity, and low cost.

China CDC Wkly 2021; 3:247-251. [PMID: 34594859 PMCID: PMC8392952 DOI: 10.46234/ccdcw2021.072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2021] [Accepted: 03/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
What is already known about this topic? Proficiency testing (PT) is a key component of quality assurance and is essential in ensuring accurate laboratory diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) and drug-resistant TB. The National Tuberculosis Reference Laboratory (NTRL) developed a novel PT panel to test laboratories’ proficiency for molecular TB diagnostic assays throughout the TB laboratory network. A total of 6 PT rounds for molecular diagnostics were conducted by NTRL from 2014 to 2019. What is added by this report? PT conducted using artificial sputum specimens increased from 120 in the first round to 1,835 in the sixth round. Overall, laboratories demonstrated good proficiency for MTB and drug-resistance detection by molecular diagnostics, which is evident from the qualification rates over the six rounds: 95%, 97%, 96%, 93%, 93%, and 97%, respectively. What are the implications for public health practice? The use of artificial sputum specimens for PT panel production to test TB molecular diagnostics in China is feasible. Most of the participating laboratories provided reliable molecular diagnostic results for MTB and drug-resistance detection. The TB laboratory network can be instrumental in implementing PT expansion and improving the quality of TB molecular diagnosis in China.

Lee Y, Raviglione MC, Flahault A. Use of Digital Technology to Enhance Tuberculosis Control: Scoping Review. J Med Internet Res 2020; 22:e15727.

Abstract
Background Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent, with around 1.5 million deaths reported in 2018, and is a major contributor to suffering worldwide, with an estimated 10 million new cases every year. In the context of the World Health Organization’s End TB strategy and the quest for digital innovations, there is a need to understand what is happening around the world regarding research into the use of digital technology for better TB care and control. Objective The purpose of this scoping review was to summarize the state of research on the use of digital technology to enhance TB care and control. This study provides an overview of publications covering this subject and answers 3 main questions: (1) to what extent has the issue been addressed in the scientific literature between January 2016 and March 2019, (2) which countries have been investing in research in this field, and (3) what digital technologies were used? Methods A Web-based search was conducted on PubMed and Web of Science. Studies that describe the use of digital technology with specific reference to keywords such as TB, digital health, eHealth, and mHealth were included. Data from selected studies were synthesized into 4 functions using narrative and graphical methods. Such digital health interventions were categorized based on 2 classifications, one by function and the other by targeted user. Results A total of 145 relevant studies were identified out of the 1005 published between January 2016 and March 2019. Overall, 72.4% (105/145) of the research focused on patient care and 20.7% (30/145) on surveillance and monitoring. Other programmatic functions 4.8% (7/145) and electronic learning 2.1% (3/145) were less frequently studied. Most digital health technologies used for patient care included primarily diagnostic 59.4% (63/106) and treatment adherence tools 40.6% (43/106). On the basis of the second type of classification, 107 studies targeted health care providers (107/145, 73.8%), 20 studies targeted clients (20/145, 13.8%), 17 dealt with data services (17/145, 11.7%), and 1 study was on the health system or resource management. The first authors’ affiliations were mainly from 3 countries: the United States (30/145 studies, 20.7%), China (20/145 studies, 13.8%), and India (17/145 studies, 11.7%). The researchers from the United States conducted their research both domestically and abroad, whereas researchers from China and India conducted all studies domestically. Conclusions The majority of research conducted between January 2016 and March 2019 on digital interventions for TB focused on diagnostic tools and treatment adherence technologies, such as video-observed therapy and SMS. Only a few studies addressed interventions for data services and health system or resource management.

Abstract
Background Egg drop syndrome (EDS), caused by the adenovirus “egg drop syndrome virus” (EDSV) causes severe economic losses through reduced egg production in breeder and layer flocks. The diagnosis of EDSV has been done by molecular tools since its complete genome sequence was identified. In order to enhance the capabilities of the real-time fluorescence loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RealAmp) assay, we aimed to apply the method for direct detection of the EDSV without viral DNA extraction. In order to detect the presence of the EDSV DNA, three pairs of primers were designed, from the conserved region of fiber gene of the EDSV. Results For our assay, test and control samples were directly used in the reaction mixture in 10-fold serial dilution. The target DNA was amplified at 65 °C, which yield positive results in a relatively short period of 40–45 min. The method reported in this study is highly sensitive as compared to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and showed no sign of cross-reactivity or false positive results. The RealAmp accomplished specific identification of EDSV among a variety of poultry disease viruses. Conclusions The direct RealAmp can be used to detect the presence of EDSV. As our result showed, the RealAmp method could be suitable for the direct detection of other DNA viruses.
