DRUG SUSCEPTIBILITY TESTING PROGRAM FOR
MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS
WARNING:
The culture panel provided in this survey consists of viable
strains of Mycobacterium
tuberculosis Complex (MTBC)
only, some of which are drug-resistant. The cultures in the panel
should be considered hazardous and capable of transmitting
infection. Testing should only be done if the recommended safety
procedures are followed as described in the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention’s Biosafety
in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories, 2007, 5th Edition.
This manual can be accessed at
http://www.cdc.gov/od/ohs/biosfty/bmbl5/BMBL_5th_Edition.pdf
This manual recommends use of Biosafety Level 3 practices when
testing MTBC
cultures.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTION SHEETS COMPLETELY BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH ANY CULTURE EVALUATION.
Check the contents of your package. It should contain:
Cover letter
Results Worksheet for recording testing results with instructions.
(3) Laboratory Information Change Form for recording any changes to laboratory information.
(4) Shipping container with five (5) cultures labeled “TB Cultures.” The culture tubes are labeled with individual identification codes.
If the contents of your package are not complete, or if additional cultures are required, please call XXXXX, Project Officer at CDC at 404-498-XXXX immediately.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ENTERING RESULTS
Results must be entered in the on-line data entry system only no later than XX/XX/XXXX. You will need your TPEP number and password. If you have forgotten or misplaced your password please contact Ms Sandra Neal at 404 498-2238.
1. After testing your samples, enter your results at the CDC Tuberculosis Drug Susceptibility Website: http://wwwn.cdc.gov/mpep/mtbds/login.aspx
2. Please verify laboratory information and make any changes on the Website or on the enclosed Laboratory Information Change Form.
3. If you can not use the on-line data entry system, please complete the Results Worksheet and contact the project officer at (888) 465-6062 or 404-498-2238.
4. For multiple choice questions beginning on page 4 of the Results Worksheet, fully blacken the circle to the left of the appropriate answer. Please do not use checks marks () or cross marks (X) within the circles.

Please note: Treat these cultures in the same manner that you routinely treat MTBC isolates, with the following exception:
If you test second-line drugs in your laboratory, test these isolates (regardless of results from testing first-line drugs) using those second-line drugs normally used to test patient isolates. This will provide you with an opportunity to evaluate your performance for testing second-line drugs.
WARNING:
The culture panel provided in this survey consists of viable
strains of Mycobacterium

11. For each antimicrobial that you use routinely to determine the susceptibility of M. tb, record a test method, the concentration of the antimicrobial and a result (R=Resistant, S=Susceptible, O=Other). If the isolates in the panel were tested using more than one concentration of an antimicrobial, record those results on lines that correspond to the antimicrobial you are testing (Example 1). If you need more lines than are provided for that antimicrobial, please record results in the blank lines provided at the bottom of the result page. Do not cross out an existing antimicrobial and write another drug name over it (example 2).
If you are testing an antimicrobial not listed on the result page, record the entire drug name (no abbreviations), a concentration and a result in the blank lines provided at the bottom of the result page. Please make sure that each result is recorded on a provided line and not written in the margins outside the form. Make a copy of the result page if you do not have enough room on the provided page to record all results.
Other responses related to susceptibility results such as Borderline, Contaminated, No Growth, etc. can be abbreviated and recorded to the right of the "O" selection in the result columns (examples 1 and 3).
