multiple- mutations in the katg gene of mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates correlate with high- level of resistance to isoniazid in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis from belarus

چکیده
background and objectives: the aim of this study was to investigate the significance of multiple-mutations in the katg gene, predominant nucleotide changes and its correlation with high level of resistance to isoniazid in mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates that were randomly collected from sputa of 42 patients with primary and secondary active pulmonary tuberculosis from different geographic regions of belarus. materials and methods: drug susceptibility testing was determined using the cdc standard conventional proportional method. dna extraction, katg amplification, and dna sequencing analysis were performed. results: thirty four (80%) isolates were found to have multiple-mutations (composed of 2-5 mutations) in the katg. increased number of predominant mutations and nucleotide changes were demonstrated in codons 315 (agc→acc) , 316 (ggc→agc) , 309 (ggt→gtt) with a higher frequency among patients bearing secondary tuberculosis infection with elevated levels of resistance to isoniazid (mic μg/ml ≥ 5-10) . furthermore it was demonstrated that the combination of mutations with their predominant nucleotide changes were also observed in codons 315, 316, and 309 indicating higher frequencies of mutations among patients with secondary infection respectively. conclusion: in this study 62% (n=21) of multi-mutated isolates found to have combination of mutations with predominant nucleotide changes in codons 315 (agc→acc) , 316 (ggc→gtt) , 309 (ggt→ggt) , and also demonstrated to be more frequent in isolates of patients with secondary infections, bearing higher level of resistance to isoniazid (≥ 5 -10μg/ml).

Isoniazid MIC and KatG Gene Mutations among Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates in Northwest of Iran
Objective(s) Isoniazid (INH) is one of the main first line drugs used in treatment of tuberculosis and development of resistance against this compound can result in serious problems in treatment procedures. Resistance to INH is mediated mainly by mutation in KatG gene that is coded for the catalase enzyme. The proportional method for detection of INH-resistance is time consuming due to the slo...

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...
