ABSTRACT Significant increases in the MIC90s of linezolid in multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates were seen between the baseline period of 2001 to 2003 (0.5 μg/ml) and 2004 (2 μg/ml). The MICs were 4 μg/ml in three strains. Both fluoroquinolones (except levofloxacin) and kanamycin were found to have statistically significant degrees of concordance with linezolid.

Polymerase Chain

The ability of two-band and three-band multiplex polymerase chain reactions to detect and differentiate Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex from non-tuberculous mycobacteria was evaluated. The polymerase chain reactions differentiated between M. tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacteria when standard strains and clinical isolates of mycobacteria were tested. The sensitivity of the two-band and three-band techniques to detect M. tuberculosis in clinical specimens, compared with smear and/or culture, was 88% and 75% respectively. Although both techniques showed 100% specificity, the superior sensitivity of the two-band technique suggests that it could be more useful in the diagnosis of tuberculosis and in differentiating M. tuberculosis complex from non-tuberculous mycobacteria
