Spoligotyping is a tool for the molecular characterization/typing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) strains based on target sequences (spacers) in the direct repeat (DR) region (14). The standard spoligotyping assay involves the hybridization of amplified sample DNA to nylon membrane-immobilized oligonucleotides whose sequences are representative of 43 spacer regions. Variations in the number of spacers as a result of deletions of adjacent blocks of repetitive units allow the differentiation of clinical isolates. In the present study, we developed a new multiplexed primer extension-based spoligotyping assay using automated matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) that improves the classical reverse line blot hybridization assay with respect to reproducibility, throughput, process flow, ease of use, and data analysis. Validation of the MALDI-TOF MS-based spoligotyping assay with two sample sets with a total of 326 samples resulted in 96.6% concordance (315/326) when the full spoligotype patterns were compared with the results of standard spoligotyping and 99.9% concordance when the results were compared with those of individual primer extension assays. Ten strains (including two Mycobacterium canettii strains) showed discordant results with one or two spacer differences from the membrane-based spoligotyping result. Most discordant samples were identified to be the result of ambiguities in the interpretation of weak hybridization signals in the reverse line blot assay and sequence variations in the spacer regions. We established a new automated primer extension assay and successfully validated it for use for the routine typing of MTBC strains in the research and public health laboratory environments. The present multiplex levels of up to 30 are extendable and allow the additional incorporation of controls and antibiotic resistance markers. |
