We assessed the performance of a rapid, single-well, real-time PCR assay for the detection of rifampin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis by using clinical isolates from north India and Mexico, regions with a high incidence of tuberculosis. The assay uses five differently colored molecular beacons to determine if a short region of the M. tuberculosis rpoB gene contains mutations that predict rifampin resistance in most isolates. Until now, the assay had not been sufficiently tested on samples from countries with a high incidence of tuberculosis. In the present study, the assay detected mutations in 16 out of 16 rifampin-resistant isolates from north India (100%) and in 55 of 64 rifampin-resistant isolates from Mexico (86%) compared to results with standard susceptibility testing. The assay did not detect mutations (a finding predictive of rifampin susceptibility) in 37 out of 37 rifampin-susceptible isolates from India (100%) and 125 out of 126 rifampin-susceptible isolates from Mexico (99%). DNA sequencing revealed that none of the nine rifampin-resistant isolates from Mexico, which were misidentified as rifampin susceptible by the molecular beacon assay, contained a mutation in the region targeted by the molecular beacons. The one rifampin-susceptible isolate from Mexico that appeared to be rifampin resistant by the molecular beacon assay contained an S531W mutation, which is usually associated with rifampin resistance. Of the rifampin-resistant isolates that were correctly identified in the molecular beacon assay, one contained a novel L530A mutation and another contained a novel deletion between codons 511 and 514. Overall, the molecular beacon assay appears to have sufficient sensitivity (89%) and specificity (99%) for use in countries with a high prevalence of tuberculosis. 相似文献

Current clinical assays for determining antibiotic susceptibility in Mycobacterium tuberculosis require many weeks to complete due to the slow growth of the bacilli. Here we demonstrate an extremely sensitive single-tube PCR assay that takes less than 3 h and reliably identifies rifampin-resistant M. tuberculosis in DNA extracted directly from sputum. Ninety-five percent of mutations associated with rifampin resistance occur in an 81-bp core region of the bacterial RNA polymerase gene, rpoB. All mutations that occur within this region result in rifampin resistance. The assay uses novel nucleic acid hybridization probes called molecular beacons. Five different probes are used in the same reaction, each perfectly complementary to a different target sequence within the rpoB gene of rifampin-susceptible bacilli and each labeled with a differently colored fluorophore. Together, their target sequences encompass the entire core region. The generation of all five fluorescent colors during PCR amplification indicates that rifampin-susceptible M. tuberculosis is present. The presence of any mutation in the core region prevents the binding of one of the molecular beacons, resulting in the absence of one of the five fluorescent colors. When 148 M. tuberculosis clinical isolates of known susceptibility to rifampin were tested, mutations associated with rifampin resistance were detected in 63 of the 65 rifampin-resistant isolates, and no mutations were found in any of the 83 rifampin-susceptible isolates. When DNA extracted directly from the sputum of 11 patients infected with rifampin-resistant tuberculosis was tested, mutations were detected in all of the samples. The use of this rapid assay should enable early detection and treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis in clinical settings. 相似文献

We developed an assay for rapid detection of rifampin resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis based on Pyrosequencing technology, involving a technique for real-time sequencing. A 180-bp region of the rpoB gene was amplified in clinical isolates of both rifampin-resistant and -susceptible M. tuberculosis. The PCR products were subjected to Pyrosequencing analysis using four different sequencing primers in four overlapping reactions. These four sequencing reactions covered the 81-bp region where > 96% of the mutations associated with rifampin resistance are located. The results were compared to those obtained with two other molecular methods, the line probe assay and cycle sequencing, and the phenotypic BACTEC method. The genotypic determination methods all detected the mutations that previously have been correlated with rifampin resistance. In addition, Pyrosequencing analysis and the two other molecular methods found additional mutations within the rpoB gene in phenotypically susceptible strains. We found that Pyrosequencing technology, in particular, offers high accuracy, short turnaround time, and a potentially high throughput in detection of rifampin resistance in M. tuberculosis. 相似文献

Two regions of rpoB associated with rifampin resistance were sequenced in 29 rifampin-resistant (determined by the proportion method) isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis obtained from patients from three counties in Hungary. Of the 29 resistant strains, 27 had a mutation in either the 81-bp region (26 strains) or the N-terminal region (1 strain), while the other 2 strains had no mutations in either region. The locations and frequencies of the mutations differed from those previously reported. The most common mutation in this study, D516V, was found in 38% of the Hungarian strains, a frequency 2 to 10 times higher than that found in studies from other countries. These same 29 isolates were also evaluated with the Inno-LiPA Rif. TB test (LiPA), a reverse hybridization assay for the rapid detection of rifampin resistance. Although LiPA detected the presence of an rpoB mutation in 26 of the resistant isolates, the type of mutation could not be determined in 4 isolates because the mutations present were not among those included on the LiPA strip. In addition, a silent mutation in one of the rifampin-susceptible control strains was interpreted as rifampin resistant by LiPA. These findings demonstrate the importance of validating this rapid molecular test by comparison with DNA sequence results in each geographic location before incorporating the test into routine diagnostic work. 相似文献

To examine the transmission of drug-resistant (DR) tuberculosis between Texas and Mexico, Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates resistant to one or more of the first-line antimycobacterial drugs were obtained from 606 patients who resided in Texas and 313 patients who resided in Mexico, primarily within the state of Tamaulipas. The isolates were genotyped by IS6110-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis and spoligotyping. Of the 919 isolates genotyped, 413 (45%) grouped into 105 clusters containing 2 or more isolates with identical genotypes. In addition to having identical genotypes, identical drug resistance patterns were identified in 250 isolates in 78 clusters (DR clusters). Twenty DR clusters, containing isolates from 32% of the total number of patients infected with DR strains, were geographically distributed across Mexico and Texas. Within this population of 919 patients infected with DR isolates, the probability of being in a DR cluster was the same for residents of Mexico and Texas. In Texas, the significant independent predictors of clustering within DR clusters as opposed to genotype clusters were found to be race, age, country of birth, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection status, and resistance to more than one drug. Specifically, isolates from African Americans, individuals under age 65, individuals born in the United States, and HIV-positive individuals were each more likely to be associated with a DR cluster. By contrast, no significant independent predictors of clustering in a DR cluster were identified in Mexico. Although some DR M. tuberculosis strains are geographically restricted, this study suggests that a number of strains are transmitted between Mexico and the United States. 相似文献

Rifampin resistance is a key prognostic marker for treatment success in tuberculosis patients. Recently, Wang et al. demonstrated that Rv2629 A191C mutations were present in 99.1% of rifampin-resistant and 0% of rifampin-susceptible clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates and that overexpression of the Rv2629 191C allele in Mycobacterium smegmatis produced an eightfold increase in rifampin resistance. These results suggested that Rv2629 could be a cause of rifampin resistance and a valuable target for rifampin resistance detection assays. We developed a molecular-beacon assay to study the association between Rv2629 191 alleles and rifampin resistance in 246 geographically and phylogenetically diverse clinical M. tuberculosis isolates. The 191C allele was present in 30/98 (30.6%) rifampin-resistant isolates and 25/148 (16.9%) rifampin-susceptible isolates and was more common in isolates from Asia. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated complete overlap between the 191C allele and single nucleotide polymorphism cluster group 2 (SCG-2), a phylogenetic lineage that corresponds to the Beijing-W clade of M. tuberculosis. All 55 (100%) 191C isolates were SCG-2, while none of the 191 191A isolates were SCG-2 (P < 0.001). No association was found between the 191C allele and rifampin resistance in an analysis that included the SCG type (P = 1.0). Also, in contrast to the findings of Wang et al., we found that overexpression of either Rv2629 191 allele in M. smegmatis did not produce an increase in rifampin resistance. We conclude that the Rv2629 191C allele is not associated with rifampin resistance and that the allele cannot be used as a molecular target to detect rifampin resistance. The allele appears to be an excellent marker for the Beijing-W clade/SCG-2 phylogenetic group. 相似文献

This study evaluated the feasibility of a molecular strategy based on identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by IS6110 PCR or Cobas Amplicor PCR, and rpoB PCR-DNA sequencing of the 81-bp rifampin resistance determining region (RRDR) for direct detection of rifampin resistance in respiratory specimens. A collection of 2,138 respiratory specimens and 352 nonduplicate M. tuberculosis isolates (including 233 isolates from the evaluated respiratory specimens and an additional collection of 119 stored isolates) from Southern China was investigated. Using culture as the reference test, the overall diagnostic sensitivities of an acid-fast bacillus (AFB) smear, Cobas Amplicor PCR, IS6110 PCR were 54.5% (156 of 286), 86.7% (248 of 286), and 89.2% (255 of 286), respectively. The sensitivities of the rpoB PCR for the specimens with positive AFB smears and with positive PCR results in the IS6110 PCR and/or Cobas Amplicor PCR were 100% (156 of 156) and 92.3% (239 of 259), respectively. Of the 352 nonduplicate M. tuberculosis isolates, the agar proportion method for rifampin reported 39 resistant strains. Full agreement (352 of 352) was found with the agar proportion method and the genotype inferred from the rpoB DNA sequencing data for rifampin. Thirty-nine mutations of nine distinct kinds, eight point mutations, and one deletion within the RRDR were found in the 39 resistant strains. For the direct DNA sequencing performed on rpoB PCR-positive respiratory specimens, the concordance with the agar proportion method and the subsequent PCR-sequencing for the culture isolate was 100%. This strategy has potential application for direct and rapid diagnosis of rifampin-resistant M. tuberculosis in IS6110 PCR or Cobas Amplicor PCR-positive respiratory specimens. 相似文献

An oligonucleotide chip (Combichip Mycobacteria chip) detecting specific mutations in the rpoB, katG, and inhA genes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was compared with conventional antimicrobial susceptibility results. The probes detecting drug resistance were as follows: 7 wild-type and 13 mutant probes for rifampin and 2 wild-type and 3 mutant probes for isoniazid. Target DNA of M. tuberculosis was amplified by PCR, followed by hybridization and scanning. Direct sequencing was performed to verify the results of the oligonucleotide chip. One-hundred seven of 115 rifampin-resistant strains (93%) had mutations in the rpoB gene. Eighty-five of 119 isoniazid-resistant strains (71%) had mutations in the katG gene or inhA gene. The diagnostic oligonucleotide chip with mutation-specific probes is a reliable and useful tool for the rapid and accurate diagnosis of resistance against rifampin and isoniazid in M. tuberculosis isolates. 相似文献

To investigate the emergence of rifampin resistance in Rhodococcus equi strains isolated from foals and their environment in Japan, we compared the in vitro antimicrobial susceptibilities to rifampin of 640 isolates from 64 infected foals and 98 soil isolates from their horse-breeding farms. As a control, 39 human isolates from patients with and without AIDS were also tested for susceptibility to rifampin. All of the isolates showed rifampin sensitivity, except isolates from one infected foal and two patients with AIDS that showed rifampin resistance. To investigate the emergence of rifampin-resistant R. equi in the infected foal, which had received rifampin monotherapy for a month before euthanasia, 99 isolates of R. equi from the lesions and 20 isolates from the intestinal contents of the one foal with rifampin-resistant organisms were analyzed for rifampin susceptibilities, pathogenicities, and ribotypes. Of the 99 isolates from the lesions, all of which were virulent R. equi strains containing a virulence plasmid with a size of 85 or 90 kb, 90 (91%) isolates were rifampin resistant (MIC, > or = 12.5 microg/ml). On the other hand, of the 20 isolates from the intestinal contents, 11 (55%) isolates showed rifampin resistance (MIC, > or = 25 microg/ml), and 5 of them were avirulent R. equi strains. Among these 101 rifampin-resistant R. equi isolates with and without virulence plasmids characterized by ribotyping, 58 were type I, 20 were type II, 11 were type III, and 12 were type IV. These results demonstrated that at least eight different rifampin-resistant R. equi strains emerged concurrently and respectively from the different lesions and intestinal contents of the infected foal. 相似文献

Vietnam is ranked 13th among the WHO list of 22 high-burden countries, based upon estimated total number of tuberculosis cases. Despite having a model national tuberculosis program, consistently achieving and exceeding WHO targets for detection and cure, drug-resistant and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis cases continue to rise. Rapid multidrug-resistant tests applicable in this setting, coupled with effective treatment regimens, would be a useful tool in reversing this trend, allowing early identification of patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and avoiding resistance-amplifying regimens. Sequencing of consecutive isolates identified by the National Tuberculosis Program showed 89% of isoniazid-resistant isolates could be detected by targeting just 2 codons, katG 315 and -15C-->T in the inhA promoter, while rifampin resistance will be more complex to detect, with many different mutation and insertion events in rpoB. The most prevalent rifampin resistance-conferring mutations, as in other countries, were in rpoB codons 531 (43%), 526 (31%), and 516 (15%). However, a hybridization-based resistance test with probes targeting the 5 most common mutations would only detect 78% of rifampin-resistant isolates. Overall, these data suggest that rifampin resistance may be used as a surrogate marker for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and that a sensitivity of between 70 to 80% may be possible for rapid molecular detection of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in this setting. 相似文献

Mutations in an 81-bp region of the rpoB gene associated with rifampin resistance were studied in 41 rifampin-resistant clinical strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated in Turkey. Fourteen different rpoB alleles, three of which had not been reported before, were found. A reverse hybridization-based line probe assay (the Inno-LiPA Rif.TB test) for rapid detection of the mutations was evaluated with these isolates. Rifampin resistance was correctly identified in 23 of 41 isolates (56.1%) with the kit's R probes specific for these mutations. Seventeen of 41 isolates (41.5%) yielded hybridization patterns, with at least one negative signal obtained with the S probes for the wild type. One isolate was identified as rifampin sensitive by the line probe assay. The rate of concordance of the results of the line probe assay with the results of the in vitro susceptibility test was high (97.6%). These results demonstrate that the line probe assay kit may be useful for the rapid diagnosis of rifampin-resistant tuberculosis. 相似文献

In order to characterise molecular mechanisms of first-line drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and to evaluate the use of molecular markers of resistance (gene point mutations), we analysed 66 multi-drug-resistant (MDR) isolates from Latvian tuberculosis patients. They were all resistant to rifampin (RIF), isoniazid (INH) and streptomycin (SM), and 33 were resistant to ethambutol (EMB). Enzymatic digestion by MboII and nucleotide sequencing of the rpsL gene fragment detected a single nucleotide substitution K43R in 40 (61%) of the 66 SM-resistant M. tuberculosis isolates. Of the other 26 SM-resistant isolates, 16 (24%) had mutations at positions 513A-->C and 516C-->T of the rrs gene and 10 (15%) had the wild-type sequence. The single-stranded DNA conformation polymorphism (SSCP) method was used to detect mutations in the embB gene associated with EMB resistance. Substitutions in the embB gene were found by SSCP analysis in 15 (45%) and by sequencing in 17 (52%) of the 33 EMB-resistant isolates. Surprisingly, SSCP revealed a nucleotide mutation at codon M306 in five (15%) of 33 in vitro EMB-susceptible MDR isolates. 相似文献

The prevalence of recently described mutation V176F, located in the beginning of the rpoB gene and associated with rifampin resistance and the wild-type cluster I sequence, was determined by analyzing the distribution of rpoB mutations among 80 rifampin (RIF)-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains isolated in Germany during 1997. The most frequent rpoB mutations were changes in codon 456 (52 isolates, 65%), followed by changes in codon 441 (13 isolates, 16%) and codon 451 (11 isolates, 14%). The V176F mutation was detected in one isolate of the study population and in 5 of 18 RIF-resistant strains with no cluster I mutation from six previously published studies. In three isolates, a mixture of resistant and susceptible subpopulations (heteroresistance) prohibited the detection of rpoB mutations in the initial analysis; however, in these isolates, cluster I mutations could be verified after a passage on RIF-containing medium. IS6110 DNA fingerprinting of 76 strains revealed eight clusters comprising 27 strains with identical restriction fragment length polymorphism patterns that mainly also show identical rpoB mutations and identical or similar drug resistance patterns. In conclusion, our results indicate that the V176F mutation should be included in molecular tests for prediction of RIF resistance in M. tuberculosis. We further demonstrated that heteroresistance caused by a mixture of mycobacterial subpopulations with different susceptibilities to RIF may influence the sensitivity of molecular tests for detection of resistance. 相似文献

Genetic alterations in the rpoB gene were characterized in 50 rifampin-resistant (Rif(r)) clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex from Spain. A rapid PCR-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique for the identification of rpoB mutations was evaluated with isolates of the M. tuberculosis complex and clinical specimens from tuberculosis patients that were positive for acid-fast bacilli (AFB). Sequence analysis demonstrated 11 different rpoB mutations among the Rif(r) isolates in the study. The most frequent mutations were those associated with codon 531 (24 of 50; 48%) and codon 526 (11 of 50; 22%). Although the PCR-ELISA does not permit characterization of the specific Rif(r) allele within each strain, 10 of the 11 Rif(r) genotypes were correctly identified by this method. We used the PCR-ELISA to predict the rifampin susceptibility of M. tuberculosis complex organisms from 30 AFB-positive sputum specimens. For 28 samples, of which 9 contained Rif(r) organisms and 19 contained susceptible strains, results were concordant with those based on culture-based drug susceptibility testing and sequencing. Results from the remaining two samples could not be interpreted because of low bacillary load (microscopy score of 1+ for 1 to 9 microorganisms/100 fields). Our results suggest that the PCR-ELISA is an easy technique to implement and could be used as a rapid procedure for detecting rifampin resistance to complement conventional culture-based methods. 相似文献

High incidence rates of isoniazid-, rifampin-, and multiple-drug-resistant tuberculosis have been reported in countries of the former Soviet Union (FSU). Genotypic (unlike phenotypic) drug resistance assays do not require viable cultures but require accurate knowledge of both the target gene and the mutations associated with resistance. For these assays to be clinically useful, they must be able to detect the range of mutations seen in isolates from the population of tuberculosis patients to which they are applied. Two novel macroarrays were applied to detect mutations associated with rifampin (rpoB) and isoniazid (katG and inhA) resistance. In a sample of 233 isolates from patients in Samara, central Russia, 46.5% of isolates possessed mutations in both the rpoB and the katG (or inhA) genes. Combined results from the macroarrays demonstrated concordance in 95.4 and 90.4% of phenotypically defined rifampin- and isoniazid-resistant isolates, respectively. The contribution of different mutations to resistance was comparable to that reported previously for non-FSU countries, with 90% of rifampin-resistant isolates and 93% of isoniazid resistant isolates due to rpoB531 and katG315 mutations, respectively. The percentage of phenotypically resistant rifampin isolates with no mutations in the rpoB codons 509 to 536 was 4.2%, which was similar to previous reports. Novel macroarrays offer a rapid, accurate, and relatively cheap system for the identification of rifampin-, isoniazid-, and multiple-drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates. 相似文献

Rifampin resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is largely determined by mutations in an 80-bp rifampin resistance determining region (RRDR) of the rpoB gene. We developed a rapid single-well PCR assay to identify RRDR mutations. The assay uses sloppy molecular beacons to probe an asymmetric PCR of the M. tuberculosis RRDR by melting temperature (T(m)) analysis. A three-point T(m) code is generated which distinguishes wild-type from mutant RRDR DNA sequences in approximately 2 h. The assay was validated on synthetic oligonucleotide targets containing the 44 most common RRDR mutations. It was then tested on a panel of DNA extracted from 589 geographically diverse clinical M. tuberculosis cultures, including isolates with wild-type RRDR sequences and 25 different RRDR mutations. The assay detected 236/236 RRDR mutant sequences as mutant (sensitivity, 100%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 98 to 100%) and 353/353 RRDR wild-type sequences as wild type (specificity, 100%; 95% CI, 98.7 to 100%). The assay identified 222/225 rifampin-resistant isolates as rifampin resistant (sensitivity, 98.7%; 95% CI, 95.8 to 99.6%) and 335/336 rifampin-susceptible isolates as rifampin susceptible (specificity, 99.7%; 95% CI, 95.8 to 99.6%). All mutations were either individually identified or clustered into small mutation groups using the triple T(m) code. The assay accurately identified mixed (heteroresistant) samples and was shown analytically to detect RRDR mutations when present in at least 40% of the total M. tuberculosis DNA. This was at least as accurate as Sanger DNA sequencing. The assay was easy to use and well suited for high-throughput applications. This new sloppy molecular beacon assay should greatly simplify rifampin resistance testing in clinical laboratories. 相似文献

A high-resolution melting analysis (HRMA) assay was developed to detect isoniazid, rifampin, and ofloxacin resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis by targeting resistance-associated mutations in the katG, mabA-inhA promoter, rpoB, and gyrA genes. A set of 28 (17 drug-resistant and 11 fully susceptible) clinical M. tuberculosis isolates was selected for development and evaluation of HRMA. PCR amplicons from the katG, mabA-inhA promoter, rpoB, and gyrA genes of all 28 isolates were sequenced. HRMA results matched well with 18 mutations, identified by sequencing, in 17 drug-resistant isolates and the absence of mutations in 11 susceptible isolates. Among 87 additional isolates with known resistance phenotypes, HRMA identified katG and/or mabA-inhA promoter mutations in 66 of 69 (95.7%) isoniazid-resistant isolates, rpoB mutations in 51 of 54 (94.4%) rifampin-resistant isolates, and gyrA mutations in all of 41 (100%) ofloxacin-resistant isolates. All mutations within the HRMA primer target regions were detected as variant HRMA profiles. The corresponding specificities were 97.8%, 100%, and 98.6%, respectively. Most false-positive results were due to synonymous mutations, which did not affect susceptibility. HRMA is a rapid, sensitive method for detection of drug resistance in M. tuberculosis which could be used routinely for screening isolates in countries with a high prevalence of tuberculosis and drug resistance or in individual isolates when drug resistance is suspected. 相似文献

Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates from cerebrospinal fluid of 67 meningitis patients were obtained from six fever hospitals in Egypt. One M. bovis and 66 M. tuberculosis isolates were identified by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of oxyR. Among the M. tuberculosis isolates, 53 unique strain types (with 3 to 16 copies of IS6110) were found by RFLP analyses. Nine clusters (eight with two isolates each and one with six isolates) were also found. Thirty-six spoligotypes, including at least 10 that have been previously reported from other countries, were also observed. Forty-one (62.1%) of the isolates were in spoligotype clusters, and 22 (33%) of the isolates were in RFLP clusters. Fifty-one of the isolates were susceptible in vitro to all of the antituberculosis drugs tested, 11 were monoresistant to capreomycin, rifampin, isoniazid (INH), pyrazinamide, or streptomycin (STR), 4 were resistant to STR and INH, and 1 was resistant to STR, INH, and ethambutol. 相似文献

A commercial line probe assay kit (Inno-LiPA Rif.TB) for rapid identification of mutations in the rpoB gene associated with rifampin resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis was evaluated with a collection of 51 rifampin-resistant strains. Nine distinct rpoB mutations were identified. Concordances with automated sequence results for five wild-type kit probes and four probes for specific mutations were 94.1 and 100%, respectively. Overall concordance of the line probe assay kit with phenotypic rifampin susceptibility testing results was 90.2%. 相似文献

We studied the presence of mutations in the whole katG gene and specific regions of the oxyR-ahpC and mabA-inhA regulatory region in 61 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isoniazid-resistant isolates. An 81-bp region of the rpoB gene was also sequenced in 17 rifampin-resistant strains. Alterations in the katG gene were detected in 55% of the isolates. Mutation in codon 315 was the most prevalent (32%). Strains showed a high level of resistance, and most maintained a substantial catalase-peroxidase activity. Three strains with an isoniazid MIC of >or=32 microg/ml lacked catalase-peroxidase activity. Two of them had deletions in the catalytic domain of the KatG protein. One strain with deletion and three strains with mutations in the C-terminal domain showed low-level resistance and conserved the catalase-peroxidase activity. Mutations in the mabA-inhA regulatory region were identified in 32% of the isolates. All had low-level resistance, and the vast majority conserved catalase-peroxidase activity. Seventeen percent of the isoniazid-resistant isolates had no detectable alterations at the studied loci. Resistance to rifampin was associated with mutations in the 81-bp of the rpoB gene in all cases. IS6110 analysis indicated that recent transmission contributed substantially to the emergence of isoniazid- resistant tuberculosis in Barcelona through short transmission chains. A rapid genotypic assay, including the 315-katG codon and the -15 nucleotide of the mabA-inhA regulatory region, may cover 62% of isoniazid- resistant strains in Barcelona. In contrast, the targeting of the 81-bp region of rpoB would detect all our rifampin-resistant isolates. 相似文献
