Mycobacteriology Testing at WSLH
• WSLH serves as a public health laboratory for
the Wisconsin State Department of Public
Health and Wisconsin local public health
agencies.
• WSLH serves as a primary diagnostic facility
and reference laboratory for clinicians and
private mycobacteriology laboratories located
throughout Wisconsin
• Full-service mycobacteriology laboratory
• Biosafety Level-3 facility

Specimen Quality is Important
The results of tests, as they affect patient
diagnosis and treatment, are directly
related to the quality of the specimen
collected and delivered to the laboratory.
WISCONSIN STATE

Sputum
• Recently discharged material from the bronchial
tree, with minimal amounts of oral or nasal
material
• Expectorated: from deep productive cough
• Indications for sputum collection
– To establish an initial diagnosis of TB
– To monitor the infectiousness of the patient
– To determine the effectiveness of treatment
WISCONSIN STATE
LABORATORY OF HYGIENE
6
Sputum Quality
• Specimens are thick and contain
mucoid or mucopurulent material
• Ideally, 3–5 ml in volume, although
smaller quantities are acceptable if the
quality is satisfactory
• Poor quality specimens are thin and
watery. Saliva and nasal secretions
are unacceptable
• Laboratory requisition form should
indicate when a specimen is induced to
avoid the specimen being labeled as
“unacceptable” quality

Sputum Collection
• Initial diagnosis of TB: Collect a series of
three sputum specimens, 8-24 hours apart,
at least one of which is an early morning
specimen
• Optimally, sputum should be collected
before the initiation of drug therapy

tuberculosis in Health-Care Settings, MMWR 2005:54, RR-17

Sputum Collection
• Provide supervised sputum collection for at least
the first sputum specimen, until the patient
demonstrated the ability to properly collect the
specimen.
• Use respiratory precautions when collecting
sputum specimens
• All mycobacteria specimens are collected into a
sealed leak proof container
• Label the specimen with patient name, collection
date/time and specimen type.
WISCONSIN STATE
LABORATORY OF HYGIENE
10
Storage and Transport of Sputum
Specimens
• Collection sites should refrigerate samples that
cannot be transported immediately to reduce
growth of contaminating organisms
• Specimens should be delivered to the laboratory
as soon as possible, within 24 hours of collection
is optimal (avoid batching)
• Recommended: include a cold pack with
specimen transport materials

AFB Smear Microscopy
• Small amount of processed and
concentrated patient specimen is placed on
a microscope slide and stained acid-fast
organisms
• Rapid and inexpensive screening tool
• Positive AFB smear results provide a first
indication of mycobacterial infection and
potential TB disease
• Must be accompanied by additional testing
including culture for confirmatory diagnosis

Limitations of AFB Smear Microscopy
• Does not distinguish between viable and dead
organisms
– Follow-up specimens from patients on treatment may be
smear positive yet culture negative
• Limited sensitivity
– High bacterial load 5,000-10,000 AFB /mL is required for
detection
– Misses >45% of U.S. TB cases
• Limited specificity
– All mycobacteria are acid fast
– Does not provide species identification
– Local prevalence of MTB and NTM determine the
predictive values of a positive smear for MTB

AFB Smear Microscopy Results
Guide Decisions
• Clinical management
– Patient therapy may be initiated for TB based on smear
result and clinical presentation
– Changes in smear status important for monitoring
response to therapy
• Public health interventions
– Smear status and grade useful for identifying the most
infectious cases
– Contact investigations prioritized based on smear result
– Decisions regarding respiratory isolation based on
smear result

• Healthy People 2020 Goal: Identify new TB
patients within 48 hours
– Respiratory isolation
– Start therapy

27
Culture for Mycobacteria
• Detects viable mycobacteria from patient
specimens
• Most sensitive method for detecting mycobacteria
(“Gold standard”)
• Slowest Method
– Average time to detection for TB = 15 days
– Range for detection of TB: 8-30 days
• Smear and Culture always performed together
• Broth and solid media used to grow mycobacteria

– Colony morphology and pigment
– High performance liquid chromatography
(HPLC)
– Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization
Time of Flight (MALDI-TOF)
– DNA Probes (M. tuberculosis complex, M.
avium complex, M. gordonae, M. kansasii)
– DNA sequencing

Significance of MTBC Culture Results
• The laboratory identification of MTBC is the
most important finding in the clinical
mycobacteriology laboratory. The finding of
this species has vital epidemiologic and public
health consequences.
– MTBC is not found in the environment
– Isolation almost always signifies disease
• MTBC culture is important for conventional
drug susceptibility testing
WISCONSIN STATE
LABORATORY OF HYGIENE
33
Culture Results for Patient
Management
• Progress of TB treatment is measured by culture
conversion
• Recommend 2 negative cultures by the end
of 2 months (intensive phase) to document
culture conversion.
• If cultures are still positive after 4 months, the
patient is deemed to have failed treatment
(patient management must be re-assessed)
• Patients with MDR-TB may be kept under airborne
precautions until culture conversion is documented

Drug Susceptibility Testing of
M. tuberculosis complex
isolates
• Automatically performed for all new
culture-confirmed TB patients (no
need to order)
• For “conventional” culture-based
susceptibility testing
– Need culture growth
– Need pure growth

CDC Molecular Detection of Drug
Resistance (MDDR) Program
• For rapid detection of drug resistance from
cultures or smear positive patient specimens
• CDC performs sequencing to detect mutations
that confer resistance
– First-line drugs, fluoroquinolones, injectables
• Turn-around time is 2-3 days
• Requires CDC approval for submission
– Patient must have risk factors for drug
resistance
• Since 2010, we have rapidly detected all of our
MDR-TB patients using this program

Summary
• Quality specimens are important for quality results
• Transport specimens ASAP using Dunham Express with
cold pack
• Expect smear results in 24 hours
• Fee-exempt PCR testing is available for detection of
MTBC and MAC directly from patient specimens
• Request CDC molecular detection of drug resistance for
TB patients with risk factors for drug resistance
• Culture-based “conventional” testing for identification
and susceptibility testing requires more time but is still
considered the gold standard
