Study of mycobacterium tuberculosis in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis by drug resistance gene detecting / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate drug resistance of mycobacterium tuberculosis,compare detecting effect of two methods and evaluate their value of clinical application.Methods All of the strains of mycoba-cterium tuberculosis were tested for resistance to RFP,INH,SM,PZA and EMB by the absolute concentration method on lowenste in-jensen medium and the mutation of the rpoB,katG,rpsL,pncA and embB resistanc genes in mycobacterium.Tuberculosis was tested by polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism(PCR-SSCP).Results 400 cases of tuberculosis drug resistance in patients with conventional susceptibility test resistance 316 cases (79.8%);resistant strains resistant gene detection 288,the mutation rate(72.0%):the RFP cases of resistance and resistance was significantly higher than that of SM,PZA and the EMB(resistant cases:F=2.45,2.56,2.69,P＜0.05;ResNtance:F=2.55,2.66,2.79,P＜0.05);the mutants and mutation rate of rpoB was higher than that of katG,rpsL,rpoB and embB(mutant:F=2.28,2.46,3.19,3.33,P＜0.05～O.01;mutation rate:F=2.36,2.61,3.25,3.45,P＜0.05～0.01);the gene mutation rate was higher in strains isolated from high concentration resistance than those in strains isolated from low concentration resistance;the more irregular treatment was longer,the rate of drug-resistant was higher(resistance:F=2.77,2.88,P＜0.05;mutation rate:F=2.72,2.85,P＜0.05).Conclusion PCR-SSCP is a sensitive and specific method for rapid detecting rpoB,katG,rpsL,pncA and embB gene mutations of mycobacterium tuberculosis.
