Discordant resistance to kanamycin and amikacin in drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is generally thought that there is full cross-resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis between the aminoglycoside drugs kanamycin and amikacin. However, kanamycin resistance and amikacin susceptibility were seen in 43 of 79 (54%) multidrug-resistant Estonian isolates, indicating that there might be a need to test the resistance of M. tuberculosis isolates to both drugs.

Evaluation of Gene Mutations Involved in Drug Resistance in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Strains Derived from Tuberculosis Patients in Mazandaran, Iran, 2013
Drug resistance (especially multiple drug resistance) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis makes global concerns in treatment and control of tuberculosis. Rapid diagnosis of drug resistant strains of the bacteria has vital importance in the prognosis of the disease. The aim of this study was to identify the mutations responsible for drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains derived from pa...
متن کاملCross-resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates among streptomycin, kanamycin and amikacin.
Seventy-four streptomycin (SM)-resistant M. tuberculosis clinical isolates were subjected to cross-resistance drug testing against two major aminoglycosides, kanamycin (KM) and amikacin (AMK). Among them, 15 clinical isolates (20.3%) were resistant to both KM and AMK. Fifteen (80%) of 19 KM-resistant isolates were AMK-resistant. Fifteen SM, KM, and AMK resistant isolates harbored rrs mutation, ...

The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB) highlights the urgent need to understand the mechanisms of resistance to the drugs used to treat this disease. The aminoglycosides kanamycin and amikacin are important bactericidal drugs used to treat MDR TB, and resistance to one or both of these drugs is a defining characteristic of extensively drug-resistant TB. We identified mutat...
متن کاملNational Tuberculosis Advisory Committee multi-drug resistant tuberculosis: information paper (October 2007).
Multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDRTB) is defined as a strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with resistance to at least isoniazid (H) and rifampicin (R), the two key drugs in TB treatment. Very recently, extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDRTB) has gained notoriety and is defined as MDRTB with additional resistance to any fluoroquinolone, and to at least one of three injectable second...
