Patterns and profiles of drug resistance-conferring mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis genotypes isolated from tuberculosis-suspected attendees of spiritual holy water sites in Northwest Ethiopia. Front Public Health 2024; 12:1356826. [PMID: 38566794 PMCID: PMC10985251 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2024.1356826] [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: 12/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose This study examined the patterns and frequency of genetic changes responsible for resistance to first-line (rifampicin and isoniazid), fluoroquinolones, and second-line injectable drugs in drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) isolated from culture-positive pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) symptomatic attendees of spiritual holy water sites (HWSs) in the Amhara region. Patients and methods From June 2019 to March 2020, a cross-sectional study was carried out. A total of 122 culture-positive MTB isolates from PTB-suspected attendees of HWSs in the Amhara region were evaluated for their drug resistance profiles, and characterized gene mutations conferring resistance to rifampicin (RIF), isoniazid (INH), fluoroquinolones (FLQs), and second-line injectable drugs (SLIDs) using GenoType®MTBDRplus VER2.0 and GenoType®MTBDRsl VER2.0. Drug-resistant MTB isolates were Spoligotyped following the manufacturer's protocol. Results Genetic changes (mutations) responsible for resistance to RIF, INH, and FLQs were identified in 15/122 (12.3%), 20/122 (16.4%), and 5/20 (25%) of MTB isolates, respectively. In RIF-resistant, rpoB/Ser531Lue (n = 12, 80%) was most frequent followed by His526Tyr (6.7%). Amongst INH-resistant isolates, katG/Ser315Thr1 (n = 19, 95%) was the most frequent. Of 15 MDR-TB, the majority (n = 12, 80%) isolates had mutations at both rpoB/Ser531Leu and katG/Ser315Thr1. All 20 INH and/or RIF-resistant isolates were tested with the MTBDRsl VER 2.0, yielding 5 FLQs-resistant isolates with gene mutations at rpoB/Ser531Lue, katG/Ser315Thr1, and gyrA/Asp94Ala genes. Of 20 Spoligotyped drug-resistant MTB isolates, the majority (n = 11, 55%) and 6 (30%) were SIT149/T3-ETH and SIT21/CAS1-Kili sublineages, respectively; and they were any INH-resistant (mono-hetero/multi-). Of 15 RIF-resistant (RR/MDR-TB) isolates, 7 were SIT149/T3-ETH, while 6 were SIT21/CAS1-Kili sublineages. FLQ resistance was detected in four SIT21/CAS1-Kili lineages. Conclusion In the current study, the most common gene mutations responsible for resistance to INH, RIF, and FLQs were identified. SIT149/T3-ETH and SIT21/CAS1-Kili constitute the majority of drug-resistant TB (DR-TB) isolates. To further understand the complete spectrum of genetic changes/mutations and related genotypes, a sequencing technology is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES The purpose of present study is to analyse the distribution and pattern of genetic mutations in PRE-XDR-TB and extensive drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (XDR-TB) using second-line line probe assay and to compare them with different parameters. METHOD Sputum, Lymph node aspirate and cold accesses from patients with rifampicin resistant Tuberculosis were subjected to first line and second line Probe Assay (Genotype MTBDRsl by Hain Life Science, Germany) to assess additional drug resistance to fluroquinolones (Levofloxacin & Moxifloxacin) and Aminoglycosides (Amikacin, Ofloxacin and Kanamycin). The genetic mutation pattern was analysed and compared with demographic, clinical and other parameters. RESULTS The final study population included 123 fluoroquinolone resistant isolates including 14 isolates with additional second line aminoglycosides drug resistance. The most frequent mutation observed among Gyr A drug resistance mutation was D94G (Gyr A MUT3C, 50/123,40%) corresponding to high level resistance to levofloxacin and moxifloxacin. The most frequent wild type mutant among Gyr A gene locus was WT 3 (85/123,69%). The most common mutation among second line aminoglycoside resistant isolates was at eis WT2 (7/14,50%) followed by rrs MUT 2 (4/14,29%). CONCLUSIONS GyrA MUT3C (Asp94Gly) was the most common mutation in Gyr A gene locus in M. tuberculosis causing high level levofloxacin and moxifloxacin resistance. Patients with Asp94Gly mutation was significantly associated with underweight body mass index (p = 0.026). This study also observed that history of anti-tuberculosis therapy is a risk factor for FQ drug resistance mutations (p < 0.001).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Widespread use of Fluoroquinolones (FQs) has led to the development of its resistance in clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, phenotypic resistance to FQs has been shown to be heterogeneous, ranging from low-level resistance to high-level resistance. This stratification in resistance has important implications for the inclusion of moxifloxacin (Mfx) in the treatment regimen. The World Health Organization recommends the use of GenoType MTBDRsl assay as the initial test for detecting resistance conferring mutations (both high and low) to FQs in patients with confirmed MDR-RR TB. The present study was conducted to explore the relationship of MTBDRsl Version 2.0 detected mutations in gyrA gene and genotypic DST of Mfx at WHO defined Clinical Breakpoint (CB). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 200 sputum samples from Confirmed MDR/RR TB patients were included in this study. All of these samples had mutations conferring resistance to FQ confirmed by GenoType MTBDRsl assay. These samples were further subjected to Phenotypic DST against moxifloxacin using the Bactec MGIT-960 system. RESULTS All of the 200 representative FQ resistant isolates had mutations in gyrA gene only with no detectable mutation in gyrB gene. 109 (54.5%) of the isolates had mutations associated with high-level increase in MIC while 91 (45.5%) isolates had mutations associated with low-level increase in MIC. Phenotypic DST of these 200 isolates against Mfx at CB (1.0μg/ml) revealed that of the 109 isolates with mutations associated with high-level increase in MIC and expected to be resistant at CB, only 34 (31.2%) were resistant and the remaining 75 (68.8%) were sensitive. CONCLUSION Moxifloxacin is an important drug in the regimen for treating Drug-resistant TB and the decision to exclude this drug from the regimen should not be taken merely on the basis of mutational patterns. It should rather be taken after considering the combined results of mutational analysis and phenotypic DST.

Abstract
This study evaluated the diagnostic performance of the AccuPower® TB&MDR Real-Time PCR (TBMDR®) and AccuPower® XDR-TB Real-Time PCR Kit-A (XDRA®) to detect multidrug-resistant (MDR-TB) and pre-extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (pre-XDR-TB) in comparison with phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (DST) using MGIT 960 on 234 clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates. Discrepant results were confirmed by direct-sequencing. Sensitivity and specificity of TBMDR and XDRA for cultured isolates were 81.2% and 95.8% for isoniazid (INH) resistance, 95.7% and 95.7% for rifampicin (RIF) resistance, 84.1% and 99.1% for fluoroquinolone (FQ) resistance, and 67.4% and 100% for second-line injectables resistance. The sensitivities of each drug were equivalent to other molecular DST methods. High concordance was observed when compared to direct-sequencing. We also found that TBMDR and XDRA assays can detect INH, RIF and FQ resistance in isolates with low level resistance-associated mutations which were missed by phenotypic DST. Our study showed TBMDR and XDRA assays could be the useful tools to detect MDR-TB and pre-XDR-TB.

Abstract
Background Rapid and early detection of drug susceptibility among multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) patients could guide the timely initiation of effective treatment and reduce transmission of drug-resistant TB. In the current study, we evaluated the diagnostic performance of GenoType MTBDRsl (MTBDRsl) ver1.0 assay for detection of resistance to ofloxacin (OFL), kanamycin (KAN) and ethambutol (EMB), and additionally the XDR-TB among MDR-TB patients in Bangladesh. Methods The MTBDRsl assay was performed directly on 218 smear-positive sputum specimens collected from MDR-TB patients and the results were compared with the phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (DST) performed on solid Lowenstein-Jensen (L-J) media. We also analyzed the mutation patterns of gyrA, rrs, and embB genes for detection of resistance to OFL, KAN and EMB, respectively. Results The sensitivity and specificity of the MTBDRsl compared to phenotypic L-J DST were 81.8% (95% CI, 69.1–90.9) and 98.8% (95% CI, 95.6–99.8), respectively for OFL (PPV: 95.7% & NPV: 94.1%); 65.1% (95% CI, 57.5–72.2) and 86.7% (95% CI, 73.2–94.9), respectively for EMB (PPV: 94.9% & NPV: 39.4%); and 100% for KAN. The diagnostic accuracy of KAN, OFL and EMB were 100, 94.5 and 69.6%, respectively. Moreover, the sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of MtBDRsl for detection of XDR-TB was 100%. The most frequently observed mutations were at codon D94G (46.8%) of gyrA gene, A1401G (83.3%) of rrs gene, and M306V (41.5%) of the embB gene. Conclusion Considering the excellent performance in this study we suggest that MTBDRsl assay can be used as an initial rapid test for detection of KAN and OFL susceptibility, as well as XDR-TB directly from smear-positive sputum specimens of MDR-TB patients in Bangladesh.

Abstract
The emergence and spread of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) is a
serious threat to global health. Therefore, its rapid diagnosis is crucial. The
present study aimed to characterize mutations conferring resistance to second
line drugs (SLDs) within multidrug Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(MDR-MTB) isolates and to estimate the occurrence of XDR-TB in Casablanca,
Morocco. A panel of 200 MDR-TB isolates was collected at the Pasteur Institute
between 2015-2018. Samples were subjected to drug susceptibility testing to
Ofloxacin (OFX), Kanamycin (KAN) and Amikacin (AMK). The mutational status of
gyrA, gyrB, rrs,
tlyA and eis was assessed by sequencing
these target genes. Drug susceptibility testing for SLDs showed that among the
200 MDR strains, 20% were resistant to OFX, 2.5% to KAN and 1.5% to AMK.
Overall, 14.5% of MDR strains harbored mutations in gyrA,
gyrB, rrs and tlyA genes.
From the 40 OFXR isolates, 67.5% had mutations in QRDR of
gyrA and gyrB genes, the most frequent one
being Ala90Val in gyrA gene. Of note, none of the isolates
harbored simultaneously mutations in gyrA and
gyrB genes. In eight out of the 200 MDR-TB isolates
resistant either to KAN or AMK, only 25% had A1401G or Lys89Glu change in
rrs and tlyA genes respectively. This
study is very informative and provides data on the alarming rate of
fluoroquinolone resistance which warrants the need to implement appropriate drug
regimens to prevent the emergence and spread of more severe forms of
Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluoroquinolones are broad-spectrum antibiotics that are recommended, and increasingly important, for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Resistance to fluoroquinolones is caused by mutations in the Quinolone Resistance Determining Region (QRDR) of gyrA and gyrB genes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In this study, we characterized the phenotypic and genotypic resistance to fluoroquinolones for the first time in northeast Iran. METHODS A total of 123 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates, including 111 clinical and 12 collected multidrug-resistant isolates were studied. Also, 19 WHO quality control strains were included in the study. The phenotypic susceptibility was determined by the proportion method on Löwenstein-Jensen medium. The molecular cause of resistance to the fluoroquinolone drugs ofloxacin and levofloxacin was investigated by sequencing of the QRDR region of the gyrA and gyrB genes. RESULTS Among 123 isolates, six (4.8%) were fluoroquinolone-resistant according to phenotypic methods, and genotypically three of them had a mutation at codon 94 of the gyrA gene (Asp→ Gly) which was earlier reported to cause resistance. All three remaining phenotypically resistant isolates had a nucleotide change in codon 95. No mutations were found in the gyrB gene. Five of the 19 WHO quality control strains, were phenotypically fluoroquinolone-resistant, four of them were genotypically resistant with mutations at codon 90, 91 of the gyrA gene and one resistant strain had no detected mutation. CONCLUSIONS Mutation at codon 94 of the gyrA gene, was the main cause of fluoroquinolone resistance among M. tuberculosis isolates in our region. In 3/6 fluoroquinolone-resistant isolates, no mutations were found in either gyrA or gyrB. Therefore, it can be concluded that various other factors may lead to fluoroquinolone resistance, such as active efflux pumps, decreased cell wall permeability, and drug inactivation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Drug-resistant TB is a serious public health problem in India. Pre-existing resistance to fluoroquinolones (FQs) and second-line injectable drugs (SLIDs) in strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) resistant to rifampicin (RIF) and/or isoniazid (INH) contributes to treatment failures and consequent transmission of drug-resistant TB. A baseline assessment of resistance of MTB to FQs and SLIDs may help guide policies to further improve management of drug-resistant TB in India. This study aims to determine the prevalence of resistance to FQs and SLIDs among MTB strains having RIF and/or INH resistance in central India.
Method
A total of 1032 smear positive sputum samples were subjected to line probe assay (GenoType MTBDRsl version 2) to test for resistance to FQs and SLIDs, according to the integrated diagnostic algorithm of the revised national TB control programme.
Results
Of 1032 samples, 92 (8.91%) were not interpretable and hence excluded, 295 (31.38%) were resistant to FQs alone, 13 (1.38%) were resistant to SLIDs alone, 15 (1.59%) were resistant to both FQs as well as SLIDs and 617 (65.63%) were sensitive to both FQs and SLIDs. The most common mutations in gyrA and gyrB genes were observed at codons D94G and E540V, respectively. Mutations at codon A1401G in rrs genes and in the C-14 T region of eis genes were most frequently observed.
Conclusion
High levels of FQ resistance points towards indiscriminate use of this class of drugs. Regulation for judicial use of FQs is an urgent requirement.

Abstract
The emergence of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) is involved in ineffective treatment of TB, especially multidrug resistant/extensively resistant TB (MDR/XDR-TB), leading to acquired resistance and transmission of drug-resistant strains. Second-line drugs (SLD), including both fluoroquinolones and injectable drugs, were commonly proved to be the effective drugs for treatment of drug-resistant TB. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of SLD-resistant strains and its specific mutations in drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates, and to acknowledge the transmission pattern of SLD resistance strains in Hebei. The genes gyrA, gyrB, rrs, eis promoter and tlyA of 257 drug-resistant clinical isolates were sequenced to identify mutations that could be responsible for resistance against fluoroquinolones and second-line injectable drugs. Each isolate was genotyped by Spoligotyping and 15-loci MIRU-VNTR. Our results indicated that 48.2% isolates were resistant to at least one of five SLD. Of them, 37.7% isolates were resistant to fluoroquinolones and 24.5% isolates were resistant to second-line injectable drugs. Mutations in genes gyrA, gyrB, rrs, eis promoter and tlyA were detected in 73 (75.3%), 7 (7.2%), 24 (38.1%), 5 (7.9%), and 3 (4.8%) isolates, respectively. The most prevalent mutations were the D94G (23.7%) in gyrA gene and the A1401G (33.3%) in rrs gene. A combination of gyrA, rrs and eis promoter can act as a valuable predicator for predicting XDR phenotype. These results highlight the development of rapid diagnosis are the effective manners for the control of SLD-TB or XDR-TB.

Abstract
Pakistan ranks 5th among the world's highest tuberculosis (TB) burden countries alongside the 6th among countries with the highest burden of drug-resistant TB, including multi-drug resistant (MDR)-TB. Methods for rapid and reliable drug susceptibility testing (DST) are prerequisite for the prompt institution of effective anti-TB treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of Genotype MTBDRplus and MTBDRsl assays for the detection of MDR and (pre-) extensively drug-resistant (XDR-TB) isolates in Pakistan. The study included 47 pre-XDR and 6 XDR-TB isolates, recovered from 53 patients from Pakistan. Conventional DST was performed using the standard 1% proportion method on the Löwenstein-Jensen medium. For molecular determination of drug resistance, GenoType MTBDRplus and GenoType MTBDRsl assays (Hain Lifescience, Germany) were used. To evaluate discrepancies between conventional and molecular DST results, mutation profiling was performed by amplifying and sequencing seven genetic loci, i.e., katG, inhA, and mabA-inhA promoter, rpoB, gyrA, embB, rrs. The sensitivity of Genotype MTBDRplus was 71.7% for isoniazid (INH) and 79.2% for rifampicin (RIF). Sequence analysis revealed non-synonymous mutations in 93.3 and 27.3% of isolates phenotypically resistant to INH and RIF, respectively, albeit susceptible when tested by GenoType MTBDRplus. GenoType MTBDRsl had a sensitivity of 73.6, 64.7, 20, 25, and 100% for the detection of fluoroquinolones, ethambutol, kanamycin, amikacin, and capreomycin resistance, respectively. Upon sequencing, mutations were detected in 20, 77.8%, and all isolates phenotypically resistant to aminoglycosides, ethambutol, and fluoroquinolones, respectively, yet declared as susceptible with GenoType MTBDRsl. Low sensitivities seriously impede the large-scale application of the Genotype MTBDRplus and MTBDRsl assays. Unless further optimized, the currently available line-probe assays should rather be auxiliary to the conventional, phenotype-based methods in the detection of MDR- and XDR-TB in Pakistan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Metformin is an oral anti-diabetic therapy (ADT) to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and has been reported to have potential anti-tuberculosis (TB) effects. This study investigates the risk of active TB among persons with T2DM who were treated with various ADT and insulin therapies. METHODS We conducted a nationwide population-based cohort study using the Taiwan Longitudinal Health Insurance Database, including 49 028 T2DM patients who were metformin users (n = 44 002) or non-users (n = 5026). A total of 5026 propensity score-matched pairs of metformin users and non-users with T2DM were evaluated from 1998 to 2010. The data were analysed using Cox proportional hazard models. RESULTS Patients with T2DM had a significantly higher rate of incident TB than did the control subjects (adjusted hazard ratio: 2.01; 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.80-2.25). After adjusting for comorbidities, diabetes complications, ADT type and statin use, metformin use was an independent factor for predicting a reduced risk of active TB (adjusted relative risk (aRR): 0.24; 95% CI: 0.18-0.32). The association between metformin use and active TB risk was also consistent in most subgroup analyses, except for patients with metabolic disorders (aRR: 0.46; 95% CI: 0.11-1.87). This protective effect of metformin was dose-dependent but diminished gradually in the elderly population. CONCLUSION Among all types of ADT and insulin therapies, metformin is the only agent with a decreased risk of active TB in the T2DM population. However, this effect was diminished in the elderly population and was not observed in patients with metabolic disorders.

Prevalence and Molecular Characterization of Second-Line Drugs Resistance among Multidrug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates in Southwest of China. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2017; 2017:4563826.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) isolates resistant to the second-line antituberculosis drugs (SLDs) and its association with resistant-related gene mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) isolates from Southwest of China. There were 81 isolates resistant to at least one of the SLDs among 156 MDR-TB isolates (81/156, 51.9%). The rates of general resistance to each of the drugs were as follows: OFX (66/156, 42.3%), KAN (26/156, 16.7%), CAP (13/156, 8.3%), PTO (11/156, 7.1%), PAS (22/156, 14.1%), and AMK (20/156, 12.8%). Therefore, the most predominant pattern was resistant to OFX compared with other SLDs (P < 0.001). The results of sequencing showed that 80.2% OFX-resistant MDR-TB isolates contained gyrA mutation and 88.5% KAN-resistant isolates had rrs mutations with the most frequent mutation being A1401G. These results suggest that improper use of SLDs especially OFX is a real threat to effective MDR-TB treatment not only in China but also in the whole world. Furthermore the tuberculosis control agencies should carry out SLDs susceptibility testing and rapid screening in a broader population of TB patients immediately and the SLDs should be strictly regulated by the administration in order to maintain their efficacy to treat MDR-TB.

Abstract
Introduction. Second-line antituberculosis drugs (SLDs) are used for treating multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Prolonged delays before confirming MDR-TB with drug susceptibility testing (DST) could result in transmission of drug-resistant strains and inappropriate use of SLDs, thereby increasing the risk of resistance to SLDs. This study investigated the diagnostic delay in DST and prevalence of baseline SLD resistance in Shanghai and described the distribution of SLD resistance with varied delays to DST. Methods. All registered patients from 2011 to 2013 in Shanghai were enrolled. Susceptibility to ofloxacin, amikacin, kanamycin, and capreomycin was tested. Total delay in DST completion was measured from the onset of symptoms to reporting DST results. Results. Resistance to SLDs was tested in 217 of the 276 MDR-TB strains, with 118 (54.4%) being resistant to at least one of the four SLDs. The median total delay in DST was 136 days. Patients with delay longer than median days were roughly twice more likely to have resistance to at least one SLD (OR 2.22, 95% CI 1.19-4.11). Conclusions. During prolonged delay in DST, primary and acquired resistance to SLDs might occur more frequently. Rapid diagnosis of MDR-TB, improved nosocomial infection controls, and regulated treatment are imperative to prevent SLD resistance.
