rapid detection of isoniazid resistance in mycobacterium tuberculosis by a single multiplex allele-specific polymerase chain reaction assay

چکیده
objective: global surveillance has shown that drug resistant (dr) tuberculosis (tb) is widespread. prompt detection of mycobacterium tuberculosis drug resistance is essential for effective control of tb. the most frequent mutations associated with isoniazid (inh) resistance in mycobacterium are substitutions at codons 315 in the katg gene and the maba-inha promoter region (−15). this survey evaluated inh resistant-associated mutations in order to determine rapid detection of tb resistance. materials and methods: through a descriptive cross- sectional study total of 96 sputum specimens were digested, examined microscopically for acid-fast bacilli and inoculated into löwenstein-jensen slants. thereafter, the susceptibility and identification tests were performed on culture positive specimens. subsequently, the strains were subjected to multiplex allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (mas-pcr) targeting in the codons 315 in the katg gene and the maba-inha promoter region. distinct pcr banding patterns were observed for different mutation profiles. results: drug susceptibility testing revealed that out of 96 available isolates, 30 (31.3%) were susceptible, 36 (37.5%) had multi-drug resistance (mdr-tb) and 30 (31.3%) showed mono- drug resistance. in comparison with the culture-based phenotypic drug susceptibility test, the sensitivity and specificity of mas-pcr assay for drug resistance-related genetic mutations were 76.7% and 71.4%, respectively. the correlation between mas-pcr and culture-based phenotypic drug susceptibility testing findings was 99.4%. conclusion: the profile of the isolates suggests a significant number of different dr strains with a high frequency of mutations at codon 315 of the katg gene. mas-pcr provides a rapid, simple and cost-effective method for detecting mdr-tb.

We investigated the use of DNA amplification by polymerase chain reaction (peR) for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 300 patients who were suspected of having pulmonary tuberculosis and compared the results with culture results which were performed in parallel with PCR. Two-thirds of each sample was processed for smear and culture by standard methods and one-third was prepared fo...
متن کاملDetection of mutations associated with resistance to rifampicin and isoniazid in Mycobacterium tuberculosis by polymerase chain reaction-ligase detection reaction.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection remains a serious infectious disease worldwide, causing 8.8 million new infections and 1.45 million deaths in 2010 [1]. The emergence of drug-resistant strains of MTB poses a significant threat to the control of the disease globally. Multidrugresistant MTB (MDR-TB), defined as being resistant to at least rifampicin (RMP) and isoniazid (INH), and extens...

متن کاملDetection of isoniazid-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains by a multiplex allele-specific PCR assay targeting katG codon 315 variation.
We describe a simple multiplex allele-specific (MAS)-PCR assay to detect mutations in the second base of the katG gene codon 315, including AGC-->ACC and ACA (Ser-->Thr) substitutions that confer resistance to isoniazid (INH) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates. The 315 ACC allele is found in the majority of Inh(r) strains worldwide, especially in areas with a high incidence of tube...
متن کاملSpecific and Rapid Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex in Clinical Samples by Polymerase Chain Reaction
Background. Tuberculosis, a global health problem and highly prevalent in India, has always been a serious problem with respect to definitive diagnosis. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques are now widely used for early detection and species differentiation of mycobacteria, but mostly with their own limitations. We aim to detect and differentiate Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection...
