Özet

Streptomycin (STR) and ethambutol (EMB) are important drugs used for the treatment of tuberculosis. There is a need for fast, reliable and inexpensive methods for detecting resistance to these drugs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of the crystal violet decolorization assay (CVDA) for the detection of STR and EMB resistance that is important drugs in tuberculosis treatment. In this study, drug susceptibility testing was performed on 140 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates provided from nine centers. Three tubes were used for each isolate. One of the tubes had a concentration of 2mg/L STR and the other 5mg/L EMB. The third was drug-free control tube. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPD), negative predictive value (NPD) and agreement for STR were found to be 81.8%, 94.6%, 87.8%, 91.5% and 90.57%, respectively. For EMB, sensitivity, specificity, PPD, NPD, and agreement were found to be 76%, 98.23%, 90.47%, 94.87% and 94.2%, respectively. The results were obtained in 11.3 +/- 2.7days (8-21days). CVDA is rapid, reliable, inexpensive, and easy to perform for rapid detection of STR and EMB resistance, and it could be adapted for drug susceptibility testing.
