RESUMEN
Objetivos. Determinar los perfiles de resistencia de las quinolonas; ciprofloxacina (Cpx), ofloxacina (Ofx), gatifloxacina (Gfx) y moxifloxacina (Mfx), y de los inyectables; kanamicina (Km), amikacina (Am) y capreomicina (Cm) en cepas multidrogorresistente (MDR). Se buscó la presencia de mutaciones en los genes rrs,tlyA y gyrA/B, y su posible asociación con la resistencia a inyectables y quinolonas. Materiales y métodos. En este estudio piloto descriptivo se seleccionaron cepas MDR aisladas durante junio a diciembre de 2004, que fueron criopreservadas en el banco de muestras del Instituto de Medicina Tropical ôAlexander von Humboldtõ en Lima, Perú. Se determinó la concentración mínima inhibitoria (CMI) para Cpx, Ofx, Gfx, Mfx, Km, Am y Cm. Se investigó las mutaciones presentes en los genes rrs, tlyA y gyrA/B a través de un PCR convencional y posterior secuenciamiento de los productos obtenidos. Resultados. Cuatro de los once aislados presentaron resistencia contra los inyectables y en todas se observó una alta CMI; >120 ug/mL para Km y >160 ug/mL para Am y Cm. Solo dos aislados presentaron resistencia a Ofx con un CMI = 4 ug/mL. Los resultados de secuenciamiento sugirieron que la mutación A1401T en rrs podría ser la causa molecular de resistencia a los inyectables; mientras que en este estudio no se halló ninguna mutación en tlyA ni en gyrA/B asociada a resistencia. Conclusiones. Este estudio sugiere una posible asociación entre la mutación en A1401G y la resistencia a los antibióticos inyectables.
ABSTRACT
Objectives. To determine the drug resistance profiles for quinolones ciprofloxacin (CFX), ofloxacin (OFX), moxifloxacin (MFX), and gatifloxacin (GFX); and for injectables kanamycin (KAN), amikacin (AMK), and capreomycin (CAP) in multidrug resistant (MDR) strains. We also investigated the correlation between mutations in rrs, tlyA and gyrA/B genes, and the in vitro resistance to the second-line anti-tuberculosis drugs. Materials and methods. In this pilot study we selected MDR clinical isolates collected from June-December 2004 in the Tropical Medicine Institute ôAlexander von Humboldtõ (Lima, Peru). The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of CFX, OFX, MFX, GFX, KAN, AMK and CAP for 14 clinical isolates were determined and the sequences of rrs, tlyA and gyrA/B genes were analyzed by conventional PCR followed by sequencing. Results. We obtained valid results for 11 samples. Four isolates were resistant to injectable drugs, and in all the cases the MICs were; >120 ug/mL for KAN and >160 ug/mL for AMK and CAP. Only 2 isolates were resistant to OFX with MIC = 4 ug/mL. Sequencing results suggested that the mutation A1401T in rrs gene could be the molecular cause of the resistance to injectable drugs. In this study we did not find any mutation in tlyA and gyrA/B associated to resistance. Conclusions. Our study suggests a possible association between the mutation A1401T in rrs and resistance to injectable drugs. However further studies should be done to confirm this hypothesis in Peru.
