Drug-resistance characteristics, genetic diversity, and transmission dynamics of multidrug-resistant or rifampicin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis from 2019 to 2021 in Sichuan, China. Antimicrob Resist Infect Control 2024; 13:125. [PMID: 39396971 PMCID: PMC11472436 DOI: 10.1186/s13756-024-01482-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 10/07/2024] [Indexed: 10/15/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Multidrug- or rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (TB; MDR/RR-TB) is a significant public health threat. However, the mechanisms involved in its transmission in Sichuan, China are unclear. To provide a scientific basis for MDR/RR-TB control and prevention, we investigated the drug-resistance characteristics, genetic diversity, and transmission dynamics and analyzed the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients to identify risk factors for the acquisition of MDR/RR-TB in Sichuan, Western China. METHODS Whole-genome sequencing was performed using a sample comprised of all MDR/RR-TB strains isolated from patients with pulmonary TB (≥ 15 years) at the 22 surveillance sites in Sichuan province between January 2019 and December 2021, to analyze genotypic drug resistance and genetic diversity. Moreover, we performed statistical analyses of the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors associated with the transmission dynamics of MDR/RR-TB. RESULTS The final analysis included 278 MDR/RR TB strains. Lineage 2.2, the major sub-lineage, accounted for 82.01% (228/278) of isolates, followed by lineage 4.5 (9.72%, 27/278), lineage 4.4 (6.83%, 19/278), and lineage 4.2 (1.44%, 4/278). The drug resistance rates, ranging from high to low, were as follows: isoniazid (229 [82.37%]), streptomycin (177 [63.67%]), ethambutol (144 [51.80%]), pyrazinamide (PZA, 119 [42.81%]), fluoroquinolones (FQs, 93 [33.45%]). Further, the clofazimine, bedaquiline, and delamanid resistance rates were 2.88, 2.88, and 1.04%, respectively. The gene composition cluster rate was 32.37% (90/278). In addition, 83.81% (233/278) of MDR/RR-TB cases were determined to be likely caused by transmission. Finally, patients infected with lineage two strains and strains with the KatG S315T amino acid substitution presented a higher risk of MDR/RR-TB transmission. CONCLUSION Transmission plays a significant role in the MDR/RR-TB burden in Sichuan province, and lineage 2 strains and strains harboring KatG S315T have a high probability of transmission. Further, high levels of FQ and PZA drug resistance suggest an urgent need for drug susceptibility testing prior to designing therapeutic regimens. New anti-TB drugs need to be used standardly and TB strains should be regularly monitored for resistance to these drugs.

Abstract
Introduction. Pre-existing fluoroquinolones (FQs) resistance is a major threat in treating multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis. Sitafloxacin (Sfx) is a new broad-spectrum FQ.Hypothesis. Sfx is more active against drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) isolates.Aim. To determine whether there is cross-resistance between Sfx and ofloxacin (Ofx), levofloxacin (Lfx) and moxifloxacin (Mfx) in MDR Mtb.Methods. A total of 106 clinical Mtb isolates, including 23 pan-susceptible and 83 MDR strains, were analysed for Sfx, Lfx and Mfx resistance using MIC assay. The isolates were also subjected to whole-genome sequencing to analyse drug-resistant genes.Results. Sfx exhibited the most robust inhibition activity against Mtb clinical isolates, with a MIC50 of 0.0313 µg ml-1 and MIC90 of 0.125 µg ml-1, which was lower than that of Mfx (MIC50 = 0.0625 µg ml-1, MIC90 = 1 µg ml-1) and Lfx (MIC50 = 0.125 µg ml-1, MIC90 = 2 µg ml-1). We determined the tentative epidemiological cut-off values as 0.5 µg ml-1 for Sfx. Also, 8.43% (7/83), 43.37% (36/83), 42.17% (35/83) and 51.81% (43/83) MDR strains were resistant to Sfx, Mfx, Lfx and Ofx, respectively. Cross-resistance between Ofx, Lfx and Mfx was 80.43% (37/46). Only 15.22% (7/46) of the pre-existing FQs resistance isolates were resistant to Sfx. Among the 30 isolates with mutations in gyrA or gyrB, 5 (16.67%) were Sfx resistant. The combination of Sfx and rifampicin could exert partial synergistic effects, and no antagonism between Sfx and six clinically important anti-Mtb antibiotics was evident.Conclusion. Sfx exhibited superior activity against MDR isolates comparing to Lfx and Mfx, and could potentially overcome the majority pre-existing FQs resistance in Mtb strains.

[PMID: 38841074 PMCID: PMC11152171 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2024.1331656] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB), especially multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB), is one of the urgent clinical problems and public health challenges. Culture-based phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (pDST) is time-consuming, and PCR-based assays are limited to hotspot mutations. In this study, we developed and validated a convenient and efficient approach based on high-throughput nanopore sequencing technology combined with multiplex PCR, namely nanopore targeted sequencing (NTS), to simultaneously sequence 18 genes associated with antibiotic resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). The analytical performance of NTS was evaluated, and 99 clinical samples were collected to assess its clinical performance. The NTS results showed that MTB and its drug resistance were successfully identified in approximately 7.5 h. Furthermore, compared to the pDST and Xpert MTB/RIF assays, NTS provided much more drug resistance information, covering 14 anti-TB drugs, and it identified 20 clinical cases of drug-resistant MTB. The mutations underlying these drug-resistant cases were all verified using Sanger sequencing. Our approach for this TB drug resistance assay offers several advantages, including being culture-free, efficient, high-throughput, and highly accurate, which would be very helpful for clinical patient management and TB infection control.

Bedaquiline, Delamanid, Linezolid, Clofazimine, and Capreomycin MIC Distributions for Drug Resistance Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Shanghai, China. Infect Drug Resist 2023; 16:7587-7595. [PMID: 38107433 PMCID: PMC10723587 DOI: 10.2147/idr.s440711] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Background New antituberculosis drugs have recently been approved for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis TB (MDR-TB). We aimed to describe the distributions of bedaquiline, delamanid, linezolid, clofazimine, and capreomycin MIC values for M. tuberculosis. Methods M. tuberculosis clinical isolates were originally isolated from 2020 to 2021 from 1452 different pulmonary tuberculosis patients of the Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital in China. The drug susceptibility testing was performed using the Sensititre custom plates (SHTBMY) (TREK Diagnostic Systems, Thermo Fisher Scientific In., USA) consisting of a 96-well microtitre plate containing 4 (bedaquiline, delamanid, clofazimine, capreomycin) antimicrobial agents. MICs were determined for linezolid using a microdilution method. Results Based on the latest definitions, 156 (10.74%) were MDR-TB, 93 (6.40%) were pre-XDR-TB, and 27 (1.86%) were XDR-TB. The rate of BDQ resistance in cases of MDR-TB was 7.69%, while it was observed to be 10.75% in cases of pre-XDR-TB, and significantly higher at 37.04% in cases of XDR-TB. The lowest rate of drug resistance against M. tuberculosis was DLM (0.14%). For LZD, 11 (0.76%) clinical isolates were resistant, based on the CLSI breakpoint of 1μg/mL. The five strains with a MIC value of >32 for LZD resistance were XDR-TB isolates. Among all MDR, pre-XDR, and XDR isolates tested, LZD' MIC50 increased from 0.25 and 0.5 to 1μg/mL. The MIC90 value of LZD against XDR-TB isolates was 32μg/mL. For CFZ, six isolates with elevated MICs of ≥2μg/mL. CFZ's MIC50 and MIC90 values in all isolates were 0.12μg/mL and 0.25μg/mL, respectively. Conclusion The study findings indicate that BDQ, DLM, CFZ, and LZD may exhibited excellent in vitro activity against MDR-TB isolates. Detection of resistance to BDQ and LZD was alarming for XDR-TB isolates. It is necessary to perform universal drug sensitivity testing for M. tuberculosis, especially MDR-TB and XDR-TB patients.

Global status of phenotypic pyrazinamide resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis. J Chemother 2023; 35:583-595. [PMID: 37211822 DOI: 10.1080/1120009x.2023.2214473] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2023] [Revised: 05/01/2023] [Accepted: 05/11/2023] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
Pyrazinamide (PZA) is an essential first-line tuberculosis drug for its unique mechanism of action active against multidrug-resistant-TB (MDR-TB). Thus, the aim of updated meta-analysis was to estimate the PZA weighted pooled resistance (WPR) rate in M. tuberculosis isolates based on publication date and WHO regions. We systematically searched the related reports in PubMed, Scopus, and Embase (from January 2015 to July 2022). Statistical analyses were performed using STATA software. The 115 final reports in the analysis investigated phenotypic PZA resistance data. The WPR of PZA was 57% (95% CI 48-65%) in MDR-TB cases. According to the WHO regions, the higher WPRs of PZA were reported in the Western Pacific (32%; 95% CI 18-46%), South East Asian region (37%; 95% CI 31-43%), and the Eastern Mediterranean (78%; 95% CI 54-95%) among any-TB patients, high risk of MDR-TB patients, and MDR-TB patients, respectively. A negligible increase in the rate of PZA resistance were showed in MDR-TB cases (55% to 58%). The rate of PZA resistance has been rising in recent years among MDR-TB cases, underlines the essential for both standard and novel drug regimens development.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to update the classification of drugs used in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) regimens. Group A drugs (fluoroquinolones, bedaquiline (BDQ), and linezolid (LZD)) are crucial drugs for the control of MDR-TB. Molecular drug resistance assays could facilitate the effective use of Group A drugs. METHODS We summarised the evidence implicating specific genetic mutations in resistance to Group A drugs. We searched PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Library for studies published from the inception of each database until July 1, 2022. Using a random-effects model, we calculated the odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals as our measures of association. RESULTS A total of 5001 clinical isolates were included in 47 studies. Mutations in gyrA A90V, D94G, D94N, and D94Y were significantly associated with an increased risk of a levofloxacin (LFX)-resistant phenotype. In addition, mutations in gyrA G88C, A90V, D94G, D94H, D94N, and D94Y were significantly associated with an increased risk of a moxifloxacin (MFX)-resistant phenotype. In only one study, the majority of gene loci (n = 126, 90.65%) in BDQ-resistant isolates were observed to have unique mutations in atpE, Rv0678, mmpL5, pepQ, and Rv1979c. The most common mutations occurred at four sites in the rrl gene (g2061t, g2270c, g2270t, and g2814t) and at one site in rplC (C154R) in LZD-resistant isolates. Our meta-analysis demonstrated that there were no mutations associated with BDQ- or LZD-resistant phenotypes. CONCLUSION The mutations detected by rapid molecular assay were correlated with phenotypic resistance to LFX and MFX. The absence of mutation-phenotype associations for BDQ and LZD hindered the development of a rapid molecular assay.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To estimate the pooled proportion of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) and pre-extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (pre-XDR-TB) in patients with multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB). METHODS We systematically searched articles from electronic databases: MEDLINE (PubMed), ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. We also searched gray literature from the different literature sources main outcome of the review was either XDR-TB or pre-XDR-TB in patients with MDR-TB. We used the random-effects model, considering the substantial heterogeneity among studies. Heterogeneity was assessed by subgroup analyses. STATA version 14 was used for analysis. RESULTS A total of 64 studies that reported on 12,711 patients with MDR-TB from 22 countries were retrieved. The pooled proportion of pre-XDR-TB was 26% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 22-31%), whereas XDR-TB in MDR-TB cases was 9% (95% CI: 7-11%) in patients treated for MDR-TB. The pooled proportion of resistance to fluoroquinolones was 27% (95% CI: 22-33%) and second-line injectable drugs was 11% (95% CI: 9-13%). Whereas the pooled resistance proportions to bedaquiline, clofazimine, delamanid, and linezolid were 5% (95% CI: 1-8%), 4% (95% CI: 0-10%), 5% (95% CI; 2-8%), and 4% (95% CI: 2-10%), respectively. CONCLUSION The burden of pre-XDR-TB and XDR-TB in MDR-TB were considerable. The high burdens of pre-XDR-TB and XDR-TB in patients treated for MDR-TB suggests the need to strengthen TB programs and drug resistance surveillance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis is a bacterial infectious disease, which affects different parts of a human body, mainly lungs and can lead to the patient's death. The aim of this study is to investigate the global prevalence of drug-resistant tuberculosis using a systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS In this study, the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar repositories were systematically searched to find studies reporting the global prevalence of drug-resistant tuberculosis. The search did not entail a lower time limit, and articles published up until August 2022 were considered. Random effects model was used to perform the analysis. The heterogeneity of the studies was examined with the I2 test. Data analysis was conducted within the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software. RESULTS In the review of 148 studies with a sample size of 318,430 people, the I2 index showed high heterogeneity (I2 = 99.6), and accordingly random effects method was used to analyze the results. Publication bias was also examined using the Begg and Mazumdar correlation test which indicated the existence of publication bias in the studies (P = 0.008). According to our meta-analysis, the global pooled prevalence of multi-drug resistant TB is 11.6% (95% CI: 9.1-14.5%). CONCLUSIONS The global prevalence of drug-resistant tuberculosis was found to be very high, thus health authorities should consider ways to control and manage the disease to prevent a wider spread of tuberculosis and potentially subsequent deaths.

Ma JB, Zeng LC, Ren F, Dang LY, Luo H, Wu YQ, Yang XJ, Li R, Yang H, Xu Y. Development and validation of a prediction model for unsuccessful treatment outcomes in patients with multi-drug resistance tuberculosis. BMC Infect Dis 2023; 23:289. [PMID: 37147607 PMCID: PMC10161636 DOI: 10.1186/s12879-023-08193-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2023] [Indexed: 05/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The World Health Organization has reported that the treatment success rate of multi-drug resistance tuberculosis is approximately 57% globally. Although new drugs such as bedaquiline and linezolid is likely improve the treatment outcome, there are other factors associated with unsuccessful treatment outcome. The factors associated with unsuccessful treatment outcomes have been widely examined, but only a few studies have developed prediction models. We aimed to develop and validate a simple clinical prediction model for unsuccessful treatment outcomes in patients with multi-drug resistance pulmonary tuberculosis (MDR-PTB). METHODS This retrospective cohort study was performed between January 2017 and December 2019 at a special hospital in Xi'an, China. A total of 446 patients with MDR-PTB were included. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and multivariate logistic regression were used to select prognostic factors for unsuccessful treatment outcomes. A nomogram was built based on four prognostic factors. Internal validation and leave-one-out cross-validation was used to assess the model. RESULTS Of the 446 patients with MDR-PTB, 32.9% (147/446) cases had unsuccessful treatment outcomes, and 67.1% had successful outcomes. After LASSO regression and multivariate logistic analyses, no health education, advanced age, being male, and larger extent lung involvement were identified as prognostic factors. These four prognostic factors were used to build the prediction nomograms. The area under the curve of the model was 0.757 (95%CI 0.711 to 0.804), and the concordance index (C-index) was 0.75. For the bootstrap sampling validation, the corrected C-index was 0.747. In the leave-one-out cross-validation, the C-index was 0.765. The slope of the calibration curve was 0.968, which was approximately 1.0. This indicated that the model was accurate in predicting unsuccessful treatment outcomes. CONCLUSIONS We built a predictive model and established a nomogram for unsuccessful treatment outcomes of multi-drug resistance pulmonary tuberculosis based on baseline characteristics. This predictive model showed good performance and could be used as a tool by clinicians to predict who among their patients will have an unsuccessful treatment outcome.

Ann Clin Microbiol Antimicrob 2023; 22:19. [PMID: 36855179 PMCID: PMC9976417 DOI: 10.1186/s12941-023-00568-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the prevalence and molecular characterization of bedaquiline resistance among MDR-TB isolates collected from Chongqing, China. METHODS A total of 205 MDR-TB isolates were collected from Chongqing Tuberculosis Control Institute between March 2019 and June 2020. The MICs of BDQ were determined by microplate alamarblue assay. All strains were genotyped by melting curve spoligotyping, and were subjected to WGS. RESULTS Among the 205 MDR isolates, the resistance rate of BDQ was 4.4% (9/205). The 55 (26.8%) were from male patients and 50 (24.4%) were new cases. Furthermore, 81 (39.5%) of these patients exhibited lung cavitation, 13 (6.3%) patients afflicted with diabetes mellitus, and 170 (82.9%) isolates belonged to Beijing family. However, the distribution of BDQ resistant isolates showed no significant difference among these characteristics. Of the 86 OFX resistant isolates, 8 isolates were XDR (9.3%, 8/86). Six BDQ resistant isolates (66.7%, 6/9) and two BDQ susceptible isolates (1.0%, 2/196) carried mutations in Rv0678. A total of 4 mutations types were identified in BDQ resistant isolates, including mutation in A152G (50%, 3/6), T56C (16.7%, 1/6), GA492 insertion (16.7%, 1/6), and A274 insertion (16.7%, 1/6). BDQ showed excellent activity against MDR-TB in Chongqing. CONCLUSIONS BDQ showed excellent activity against MDR-TB in Chongqing. The resistance rate of BDQ was not related to demographic and clinical characteristics. Mutations in Rv0678 gene were the major mechanism to BDQ resistance, with A152G as the most common mutation type. WGS has a good popularize value and application prospect in the rapid detection of BDQ resistance.

First and Second-Line Anti-Tuberculosis Drug-Resistance Patterns in Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients in Zambia. Antibiotics (Basel) 2023; 12:antibiotics12010166. [PMID: 36671366 PMCID: PMC9855139 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics12010166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2022] [Revised: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug-resistant tuberculosis has continued to be a serious global health threat defined by complexity as well as higher morbidity and mortality wherever it occurs, Zambia included. However, the paucity of information on drug-susceptibility patterns of both first-line and second-line anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drugs, including the new and repurposed drugs used in the management of drug-resistant tuberculosis in Zambia, was the major thrust for conducting this study. METHODS A total of 132 bacteriologically confirmed TB isolates were collected from patients with pulmonary TB during the period from April 2020 to December 2021 in Southern and Eastern Provinces of Zambia. Drug-resistance profiles were determined according to four first-line and five second-line anti-TB drugs. Standard mycobacteriological methods were used to isolate and determine phenotypic drug susceptibility. Data on the participants' social-demographic characteristics were obtained using a pre-test checklist. RESULTS Overall, the prevalence of resistance to one or more anti-TB drugs was 23.5% (31/132, 95% CI: 16.5-31.6%). A total of 9.8% (13/132, 95% CI: 5.3-16.2%) of the patients had multidrug-resistant TB and 1.2% were new cases, while 25.5% had a history of being previously treated for TB. Among those with mono-resistant TB strains, isoniazid (INH) resistance was the highest at 9.8% (13/132, 95% CI: 5.3-16.2%). Two (2/31) (6.5%) XDR-TB and one (1/31) (3.2%) pre-XDR-TB cases were identified among the MDR-TB patients. Previously treated patients were 40 times more likely (OR; 40.3, 95% CI: 11.1-146.5%) to have drug-resistant TB than those who had no history of being treated for TB. CONCLUSION This study has established a high rate of multidrug-resistant TB and has further identified both pre-XDR- and XDR-TB. There is a need to intensify surveillance of MDR- and XDR-TB to inform future guidelines for effective treatment and monitoring.

Linezolid resistance in multidrug-resistant mycobacterium tuberculosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:955050. [PMID: 36110536 PMCID: PMC9468755 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.955050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2022] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Linezolid (LNZ) is an effective antibiotic to treat patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment failure. M. tuberculosis strains resistant to isoniazid and rifampin are defined as MDR-TB. In recent years, resistance to LNZ among MDR-TB cases has been reported in several different countries. In this study, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the prevalence of LNZ resistance among MDR-TB isolates.Methods: The databases of Embase, PubMed/Medline, and Web of Science were searched systematically from January 2000 to April 2021. Statistical analyses were performed by using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software. Heterogeneity was reported by using the t-squared statistic and Q-statistic. Begg’s rank correlation in combination with the funnel plot were used to evaluate any possible publication bias.Results: In total, 25 studies were selected for meta-analysis from 14 different countries; the majority was from China (n = 5) and Turkey (n = 4). Moreover, 7,366 patients were infected with MDR M. tuberculosis. Among the study population, 98 patients were co-infected with HIV, and 18 patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV). Furthermore, 28 cases had diabetes, and139 cases were alcohol abuser. Overall, 4,956 MDR M. tuberculosis strains were isolated from TB patients. The pooled frequency of LNZ resistance among the clinical isolates of MDR M. tuberculosis was 4.2% (95%). Begg’s (p = 0.72) test showed no evidence of publication bias.Conclusion: LNZ resistance among MDR M. tuberculosis isolates is increasing. On the other hand, long-term treatment of MDR-TB cases with LNZ alone is associated with several adverse effects. Thus, it is recommended that newer anti-TB drugs, including bedaquiline and delamanid, in combination with linezolid could increase its effectiveness and decrease toxicities. However, more studies should be done in this field.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) poses a serious threat to public health worldwide since it was discovered. Until now, TB has been one of the top 10 causes of death from a single infectious disease globally. The treatment of active TB cases majorly relies on various anti-tuberculosis drugs. However, under the selection pressure by drugs, the continuous evolution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) facilitates the emergence of drug-resistant strains, further resulting in the accumulation of tubercle bacilli with multiple drug resistance, especially deadly multidrug-resistant TB and extensively drug-resistant TB. Researches on the mechanism of drug action and drug resistance of Mtb provide a new scheme for clinical management of TB patients, and prevention of drug resistance. In this review, we summarized the molecular mechanisms of drug resistance of existing anti-TB drugs to better understand the evolution of drug resistance of Mtb, which will provide more effective strategies against drug-resistant TB, and accelerate the achievement of the EndTB Strategy by 2035. This article is categorized under: Infectious Diseases > Molecular and Cellular Physiology.

Abstract
Linezolid has been one of the key anti-tuberculosis agents for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB)/extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB). It used to be very expensive and was not covered by social insurance from local governments. Nevertheless, a growing number of patients in China received linezolid in their anti- MDR/XDR TB regimens over the past decade. Many scholars in China have reported their experience using linezolid to treat patients with MDR/XDR-TB. In view of this, existing evidence of the efficacy and safety of linezolid and problems faced by Chinese patients with MDR/XDR-TB are summarized here.

Abstract
Background A paucity of studies focused on the genetic association that tuberculosis (TB) patients with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are more likely to be infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) with more potent virulence on anti-TB drug resistance than those without NCDs. The study aimed to document the predominant genotype, determine the association between MTB genotypes and NCD status and drug resistance. Methods We conducted a molecular study in 105 TB patients based on a cross-sectional study focused on the comorbid relationship between chronic conditions and TB among 1773 subjects from September 1, 2019 to August 30, 2020 in Guizhou, China. The participants were investigated through face-to-face interviews, followed by NCDs screening. The DNA of MTB isolates was extracted prior to genotyping using 24 loci MIRU-VNTR. The subsequent evaluations were performed by phylogenetic trees, combined with tests of statistical power, Chi-square or Fisher and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results The Beijing family of Lineage 2 (East Asia) was the predominant genotype accounting for 43.8% (46/105), followed by Lineage 4 (Euro-America) strains, including Uganda I (34.3%, 36/105), and the NEW-1 (9.5%, 10/105). The proportion of Beijing strain in patients with and without NCDS was 28.6% (8/28) and 49.4% (38/77), respectively, with a statistical power test value of 24.3%. No significant association was detected between MTB genotype and NCD status. A low clustering rate (2.9%) was identified, consisting of two clusters. The rates of global, mono-, poly- and multi-drug resistance were 16.2% (17/105), 14.3% (15/105), 1.0% (1/105) and 4.8% (5/105), respectively. The drug-resistant rates of rifampicin, isoniazid, and streptomycin, were 6.7% (7/105), 11.4% (12/105) and 5.7% (6/105), respectively. Isoniazid resistance was significantly associated with the Beijing genotype of Lineage 2 (19.6% versus 5.1%). Conclusions The Lineage 2 East Asia/Beijing genotype is the dominant genotype of the local MTB with endogenous infection preponderating. Not enough evidence is detected to support the association between the MTB genotype and diabetes/hypertension. Isoniazid resistance is associated with the Lineage 2 East Asia/Beijing strain.

Abstract
Given the low treatment success rates of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB), novel TB drugs are urgently needed. The landscape of TB treatment has changed considerably over the last decade with the approval of three new compounds: bedaquiline, delamanid and pretomanid. Of these, delamanid and pretomanid belong to the same class of drugs, the nitroimidazoles. In order to close the knowledge gap on how delamanid and pretomanid compare with each other, we summarize the main findings from preclinical research on these two compounds. We discuss the compound identification, mechanism of action, drug resistance, in vitro activity, in vivo pharmacokinetic profiles, and preclinical in vivo activity and efficacy. Although delamanid and pretomanid share many similarities, several differences could be identified. One finding of particular interest is that certain Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates have been described that are resistant to either delamanid or pretomanid, but with preserved susceptibility to the other compound. This might imply that delamanid and pretomanid could replace one another in certain regimens. Regarding bactericidal activity, based on in vitro and preclinical in vivo activity, delamanid has lower MICs and higher mycobacterial load reductions at lower drug concentrations and doses compared with pretomanid. However, when comparing in vivo preclinical bactericidal activity at dose levels equivalent to currently approved clinical doses based on drug exposure, this difference in activity between the two compounds fades. However, it is important to interpret these comparative results with caution knowing the variability inherent in preclinical in vitro and in vivo models.

Strong Increase in Moxifloxacin Resistance Rate among Multidrug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates in China, 2007 to 2013. Microbiol Spectr 2021; 9:e0040921. [PMID: 34851179 PMCID: PMC8635133 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.00409-21] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
We designed this study to determine the trend of moxifloxacin resistance among multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) patients from 2007 to 2013 in China to inform the composition of multidrug-resistant/rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/RR-TB) treatment regimens. We assessed moxifloxacin resistance among MDR-TB isolates collected in national drug resistance surveys in 2007 and 2013 that included 3,634 smear-positive and 7,206 culture-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients, respectively. Moxifloxacin susceptibility was examined by a Mycobacterium growth indicator tube (MGIT) 960 for the 2007 isolates, and by the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method for the 2013 isolates, at both breakpoints 0.5 and 2.0 μg/mL. Risk factors were explored through multivariable log-binominal regression analysis. Mutations in gyrA and gyrB for part of the isolates were also studied through sequencing. Of 401 MDR strains isolated in 2007, moxifiloxacin resistance could be determined for 319 (79.6%): 41 (12.9%) and 10 (3.1%) were resistant at 0.5 and 2.0 μg/mL, respectively. Of 365 MDR strains isolated in 2013, 338 (92.6%) could be analyzed: 140 (41.4%) and 79 (23.4%) were resistant at 0.5 and 2.0 μg/mL. For patients in 2007, no characteristics were significantly associated with moxifloxacin resistance. For patients in 2013, patients aged ≥60 years (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR], 1.46; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.10 to 1.93) were more likely to have resistance at 0.5 μg/mL, whereas those residing in eastern China compared to those in central China had an increased risk of resistance at both 0.5 (aPR, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.38 to 2.48) and 2.0 μg/mL (aPR, 2.14; 95% CI, 1.35 to 3.40). Sequencing results were obtained for 245 and 266 MDR-TB isolates in 2007 and 2013, respectively. In total, 34 of 38 (89.5%) and 89 of 104 (85.6%) of 2007 and 2013 moxifloxacin-resistant (0.5 μg/mL) MDR-TB strains had mutations in the gyrA and gyrB gene, respectively. Asp94Gly was the most common mutation among 2007 (11 of 38, 28.9%) and 2013 isolates (24 of 104, 23.1%) and conferred high-level moxifloxacin resistance. Moxifloxacin resistance among MDR-TB patients in China increased from modest to high from 2007 to 2013. Moxifloxacin should be used carefully as a potentially effective drug for composing MDR/RR-TB regimens especially for elderly patients in China. Individual susceptibility testing especially rapid molecular-based assays should be conducted to confirm the susceptibility to moxifloxacin. IMPORTANCE China is one of the high-burden countries for multidrug-resistant/rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (MDR/RR-TB). Moxifloxacin is one of the critical antituberculosis drugs for MDR/RR-TB treatment. Susceptibility to moxifloxacin is therefore very important to compose effective regimens and to provide protection against development of resistance of companion drugs such as bedaquiline and linezolid. There are, however, no nationally representative data on moxifloxacin resistance among MDR/RR-TB cases in China. Therefore, we assessed the resistance prevalence for moxifloxacin among MDR-TB strains isolated in national drug resistance surveys in 2007 and 2013 that covered 72 sites around the country. We demonstrate that the prevalence of moxifloxacin resistance in MDR-TB isolates increased from modest to high, which should prompt the national tuberculosis program to use moxifloxacin cautiously in second-line regimens to treat MDR/RR-TB unless susceptibility can be laboratory-confirmed.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) remain a primary global threat to the end of tuberculosis (TB) era. Delamanid (DLM) is a nitro-dihydro-imidazooxazole derivative utilized to treat MDR-TB. DLM has distinct mechanism of action, inhibiting methoxy- and keto-mycolic acid (MA) synthesis through the F420 coenzyme mycobacteria system and generating nitrous oxide. While DLM resistance among MTB strains is uncommon, there are increasing reports in Asia and Europe, and such resistance will prolong the treatment courses of patients infected with MDR-TB. In this review, we address the antimycobacterial properties of DLM, report the global prevalence of DLM resistance, discuss the synergism of DLM with other anti-TB drugs, and evaluate the documented clinical trials to provide new insights into the clinical use of this antibiotic.
