Drug-resistant tuberculosis is a major global health problem. The MODS (Microscopic Observation Drug Susceptibility Assay) trial is a method that uses a liquid culture that detects M. tuberculosis (MTB) and assesses susceptibility to isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RIF) from sputum samples. An adaptation of the MODS assay combined with the Wayne test, the MODS-Wayne test is a phenotypic test that indirectly assesses susceptibility to pyrazinamide (PZA) by detecting pyrazinoic acid, the enzyme product of pyrazinamidase. Detection of susceptibility to PZA is performed with MGIT 960 and Wayne's assay. The problem with these tests is their low reliability, difficulty of use, and high cost. In this study we evaluated three alternative dehydrated culture media with the objective of obtaining media that are easy to prepare by reconstituting the medium with water. The dehydrated media were: (1) sterile-lyophilized medium, (2) non-sterile mixed powdered medium, and (3) irradiated powdered medium. MTB growth and drug susceptibility to INH, RIF, and PZA were assessed. 282 sputum samples with positive acid-fast smears were evaluated. The positivity of tuberculosis showed a connection of 0.925, 0.889 and 0.866 between each of the three alternative means and the conventional one. 47 samples were multidrug resistant (MDR) and 24 samples were resistant to PZA. Susceptibility tests for MDR and PZA showed an excellent agreement of 1 for MDR and PZA, between the alternative culture media and the reference consensus standard. The mixed medium presented higher contamination with respect to the conventional medium. This analysis demonstrates that alternative culture media are appropriate and advantageous for use in MODS in low-resource settings.
