Brief Summary: Specimen transport from peripheral health structures to the National TB reference laboratory for MDR-TB identification presents a big challenge in term of sample management safety contamination and delays Thus a system that allows specimen to be collected and shipped in a safely manner while reducing the possibilities of contamination the cost of shipment and especially the time for detection of MDR-TB by using molecular methods would be very useful Whereas the some studies show promising results for the development and standardization of simple specimen collection and transportation methods for molecular DST more data is needed before these can be used in routine

The study described here aims at identifying a suitable method in terms of adapted sample support s slide filter paper FTA Genocard and DNA extraction method If one or several methods are found to give satisfying results then a larger patient based evaluation of this these methods for molecular DST will be performed in a second phase The protocol for the second phase will be prepared separately
Detailed Description: The main objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of PCR in identification and detection of tuberculosis using DNA extracts from stained slides Ziehl Neelsen and Fluorescence and Filter paper FTA card and Genocard

The secondary objectives of this study are to assess the MTB extraction yield from smear-negative low and high bacilli load specimens on slides filter paper Genocardand FTA to determine the amount of sample required to make a detectable PCR reaction and to assess the feasibility of storage and extraction methods
