TRC study findings In vitro MIC studies • Quinolones showed low and similar MIC on both drug sens & resist. population of M.tb • Cipro showed higher mean MIC than Ofloxacin • Almost 100% cross resistance was seen • Ofloxacin MICs were lower than other quinolones tested • PST on LJ showed 2mg/l as a criterion of resistance for Ofloxacin • Absolute Concentration Method (Ofloxacin) :8mg/l
TRC study findings In vitro simulation experiment with ofloxacin • Showed high EBA either alone or in combinations on exponential growth • Expect high bactericidal activity in the early phase of the Rx • Comparatively low level of SA against stationary phase growth • However, it enhanced activity in combination with H, R & HR

The role of DST in DEC Failures of category II cases under DOT • Tests should be very simple & rapid for • Primary culture • Identification & • DST
DST in DEC • Drug resistance surveillance • The tests should be as per global DRS guidelines • Identification • Growth rate. • Growth in 500 micrograms of PNB medium • Niacin test / NO3 reduction test • DST • Indirect economic variant of PST • Other methods
Review of simple & rapid tests DST for DEC Direct • Primary culture • Sputum swab method • Sputum deposit after processing by Petroff’s • Identification • Growth in 500 micrograms of PNB medium • DST • Standardization of direct PST only for H & R • Absolute concentration method • Resistance ratio method

DRS – Salient Observations • Among new cases : No evidence of an increase in the prevalence of resistance • Reports on higher prevalence of ADR ( TRC findings, Gujarat, N.Arcot, N.Delhi, Tamilnadu ,Bombay, UP.) • TRC studies :Low level prevalence of MDR TB • TRC studies : Paediatric & Extra-pulmonary cases • low level resistance to H (5-10%) • low level resistance to S (2-14%) • absence of MDR TB • Compared to global situation • a lesser prevalence of primary resistance • a much higher level of acquired resistance isobserved
Issues to be considered • Steps and Time Tables • Preparation of SOP • Culture system and methodology • Training • Organizing EQAP for second line drugs • IQC Measures (Drugs, Techniques, Periodicity, Monitoring) • Role of Speedier methods for DST of 2nd line drugs • Role of simpler phenotypic methods for detecting MDR TB • Rif. Resistance as an indicator for detecting MDR TB • DST for PZA – Its relevance • Multi - centric approach for defining resistance to various 2nd line drugs by different test systems
