Table 5. Comparison of the QMAP system and REBA MTB-MDR assay for detection of RIF and INH resistance.

REBA MTB-MDR QMAP system Agreement, % (95% CI) Kappa*
MT, N WT, N
RIF
 MT 121 0 98.5 0.968
 WT 3 76 (0.9548–0.9969)
INH
 MT 109 0 99.5 0.990
 WT 1 90 (0.9694–1.0000)

*Values ≥0.75 indicate especially good agreement.

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; QMAP, Quantamatrix Multiplexed Assay Platform; REBA, reverse blot hybridization; MTB, Mycobacterium tuberculosis; MT, mutant type; WT, wild type; RIF, rifampicin; INH, isoniazid.
