GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS and WORKSHEET
DRUG SUSCEPTIBILITY TESTING PROGRAM FOR
MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS and NON-TUBERCULOUS MYCOBACTERIA
WARNING
The culture panel provided in this survey consists of viable strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) 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 M. tb cultures.
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTION SHEETS COMPLETELY BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH ANY CULTURE EVALUATION.
The results must be entered on-line or postmarked not later than MM/dd/yyyy
Check the contents of your package. It should contain:
Cover letter.
Envelope containing:
(a) Results Worksheet for recording testing results with instructions.
Laboratory Information Change Form for recording any changes to laboratory information.
Please note: All results must be entered online at http://wwwn.cdc.gov/mpep/mtbds/login.aspx
Shipping container with a panel of four (4) labeled “TB Test Cultures.” The culture tubes are labeled with individual identification codes.
NOTE: Shipping containers with a panel of only four (4) cultures are provided to the laboratories that perform TB drug Susceptibility testing.
If the contents of your package are not complete, or if additional cultures are required, please call Dr. Angela Ragin, Project Coordinator at CDC at 404-498-2241 immediately.
Treat these cultures in the same manner that you routinely treat Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ENTERING RESULTS
Please enter your results on-line data ONLY; you will need
your TPEP number_________
password___________________.
If you have forgotten or misplaced your password, contact Dr. Angela Ragin, Project Coordinator at CDC toll free at 1-888-465-6062 or 404-498-2241. Results must be entered in the on-line data entry system no later than Month/day/year.
After testing your samples, enter your results at the CDC Tuberculosis Drug Susceptibility Website using the password assigned to your laboratory. The Website is located at the following HTML address:
Please verify laboratory information and make any changes on the Website or on the enclosed Laboratory Information Change Form then fax it to 404 498 2372.
Only on-line results entry will be accepted.
For multiple choice questions beginning on page 5 of the Results Worksheet 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.
Do not mail the Results Worksheets. They are for your laboratory use only.
Results must be entered online on or before the specified deadline.
If you require assistance entering your data, please contact Ms. Yolanda Castillo or Dr. Angela Ragin at 1-888-465-6062 (toll-free) or 404-498-2241

13. 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). (Please see example 1.) 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).
