Mutations in the rpoB gene of rifampicin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains isolated in Brazil and France.
We evaluated the mutations in a 193bp of the rpoB gene by automated sequencing of rifampicin (RMP)-resistant and susceptible Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains isolated from Brazil (25 strains) and France (37 strains). In RMP-resistant strains, mutations were identified in 100% (16/16) from France and 89% (16/18) from Brazil. No mutation was detected in the 28 RMP-susceptible strains. Among RMP...
متن کاملMutations 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 کاملNovel mutation detection IN rpoB OF rifampicin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis using pyrosequencing.
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global public health problem particularly severe in parts of Asia and Africa, where often it is present in HIV-AIDS patients. Although rifampicin-resistant (RIFr) TB is slow to emerge due to the low rate of mutation of its target leading to RIFE being a marker of TB that is already resistant to other anti-TB drugs, and such cases are prone to treatment failure....
متن کاملMutations in rpoB gene of rifampicin resistant clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Japan.
In Mycobacterium tuberculosis, involvement of alterations of the RNA polymerase beta subunit in resistance to rifampicin has been described by Telenti et al. To determine if the same correlation could be observed between the mutation of the rpoB gene and clinically isolated M. tuberculosis of the rifampicin-resistant phenotype in Japan, 47 strains of M. tuberculosis of the rifampicin-resistant ...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated in Nepal.
Despite the fact that Nepal is one of the first countries globally to introduce multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) case management, the number of MDR-TB cases is continuing to rise in Nepal. Rapid molecular tests applicable in this setting to identify resistant organisms would be an effective tool in reversing this trend. To develop such tools, information about the frequency and distrib...
