Résumé

OBJECTIVE@#This study aimed to characterize the diagnostic and vaccine potential of a novel Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen Rv0674.@*METHODS@#To evaluate the diagnostic potential and antigenicity of Rv0674, IgG was evaluated using ELISA and interferon (IFN)-γ was done by using ELISpot assay among TB patients and healthy donors. For immunogenicity evaluation, BALB/c mice were immunized with Rv0674. Cytokine production was determined by cytokine release assay using an ELISA kit, and the antibodies were tested using ELISA.@*RESULTS@#The results of serum Elisa tests showed that Rv0674 specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) response was higher in TB patients than negative controls. And Rv0674 had good performance in serological test with sensitivity and specificity of 77.1% and 81.1%, respectively. While it shows poor sensitivity and specificity of 26.23% and 79.69% for IFN-γ tests. In BALB/c mice, Rv0674 adjuvant by DDA/Poly I:C could also induce a high level of IFN-γ, interleukin-2 and interleukin-6 as well as a high IgG titer in both high- and low-dose groups indicating that Rv0674 is essential in humoral and cellular immunity. Moreover, the cytokine profile and IgG isotype characterized Rv0674 as a Th1/Th2-mixed-type protective immunity with the predominance of Th1 cytokines.@*CONCLUSION@#Rv0674 may be a good potential candidate for the development of TB serological diagnosis and a new TB vaccine.

Résumé

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To identify the novel species 'Mycobacterium fukienense' sp. nov of Mycobacterium chelonae/abscessus complex from tuberculosis patients in Fujian Province, China.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Five of 27 clinical Mycobacterium isolates (Cls) were previously identified as M. chelonae/abscessus complex by sequencing the hsp65, rpoB, 16S-23S rRNA internal transcribed spacer region (its), recA and sodA house-keeping genes commonly used to describe the molecular characteristics of Mycobacterium. Clinical Mycobacterium isolates were classified according to the gene sequence using a clustering analysis program. Sequence similarity within clusters and diversity between clusters were analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The 5 isolates were identified with distinct sequences exhibiting 99.8% homology in the hsp65 gene. However, a complete lack of homology was observed among the sequences of the rpoB, 16S-23S rRNA internal transcribed spacer region (its), sodA, and recA genes as compared with the M. abscessus. Furthermore, no match for rpoB, sodA, and recA genes was identified among the published sequences.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The novel species, Mycobacterium fukienense, is identified from tuberculosis patients in Fujian Province, China, which does not belong to any existing subspecies of M. chelonea/abscessus complex.</p>

Résumé

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To elucidate the characters of rpoB mutation in rifampin-resistant clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>286 bp DNA fragment of rpoB gene including 81 bp code region (rifampin resistance deteremination region, RRDR) was analyzed by PCR-single-strand conformation polymorphism(SSCP). The 286 bp DNA fragment of each strain which had been proved to have mutation by PCR-SSCP was then sequenced. 110 strains of M. tuberculosis, including 73 rifampin-resistant strains, 11 rifampin-susceptible drug-resistant strains and 26 drug-susceptible strains were studied.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>47 rifampin-resistant strains were detected to have mutations by PCR-SSCP method. 76.6% rifampin-resistant strains showed that rpoB gene was carrying single point mutation analyzed by direct sequencing technique, which mainly located at 531-Ser (61.1%) and 526-His (25.0%). The combined mutation rate was 23.4%. In addition, 2 rifampin-susceptible drug-resistant strains and 1 drug-susceptible strain were mutated, detected by PCR-SSCP method. Sequencing results showed that the mutations located at 511-Leu, 526-His and 535-Pro.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Mutations in the 81 bp RRDR of rpoB were the main reasons of M. tuberculosis resistant to rifampin. 531-Ser and 526-His were the most common positions of mutations.</p>
