Mutations in the RpoB Gene of Multidrug-Resistant Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Isolates from Semarang, Indonesia
ABSTRACTTuberculosis is an infectious disease which occurs widely in the world and becomes one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide. Mutations of the RpoB gene cause the resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to rifampicin that contributes to the occurrence of MDR-TB. This study aimed to determine the pattern of rpoB gene polymorphisms in the MDR M. tuberculosis in Semarang, Indonesia. Mos...
متن کاملEmerging Leptospirosis, North India
To the Editor: We read with interest the article, The Changing Epidemiology of Leptospirosis in Israel, published in volume 7, no. 6 (1). Lep-tospirosis, a septicemic zoonosis with multisystemic involvement, is caused by the pathogenic strains of Lep-tospira interrogans. Rural farm workers are at high risk for leptospirosis, and it can be a significant public health problem when water and food ...
متن کاملInvestigation of the rpoB Mutations Causing Rifampin Resistance by Rapid Screening in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis in North-East of Iran
Background and Objectives: The incidence of rifampin-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has attracted more attention than the tuberculosis infection due to laborious treatment and control. Recognizing the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genotypes involving in drug resistance via multiplex PCR, a simple and rapid genotyping method, is an emergency for better tre...
متن کاملMutations in the rpoB gene of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates from India.
Mutations in the 81-bp rifampin resistance-determining region (RRDR) of the rpoB gene were analyzed by DNA sequencing of 50 Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates (44 resistant and 6 sensitive) from various parts of India. Fifty-three mutations of 18 different kinds, 17 point mutations and one deletion, were observed in 43 of 44 resistant isolates. Three novel mutations and three new alle...
متن کاملCharacterization of Mutations in the Rpob and Katg Gene of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Isolates From Pasteur Institute of Tehran
Objective: The Rifampicin resistance and susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis are caused by mutations in the 81-base pair region of the rpoB gene encoding the b-subunit of RNA polymerase. Methods: Isoniazid resistance of M. tuberculosis is related to mutations in inha , oxyR and ahpC genes which 30 to 90 percent of Isoniazid resistance is occurred in 3015 codons of kat...
