چکیده

OBJECTIVES 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 slow growth rate of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In this study, we used PCR-RFLP approach for screening of common mutations in KatG gene for detection of INH resistance, and compared the results to minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) in M. tuberculosis isolates. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty M. tuberculosis isolates were subjected to study of which, 25 strains were INH-resistant and 25 strains were INH-sensitive. RESULTS Of 25 INH-resistant strains, the mutation was identified in 56% and 20% in the KatG315 and KatG463 loci, respectively. In 24% of INH-resistant strains, no mutation was observed in the studied loci. INH MIC was <0.2 μg/ml in all sensitive strains whereas among 25 INH -resistant isolates, INH MIC was higer than 0.2 μg/ml ranged from 0.2 to 3.2 μg/ml. CONCLUSION Our findings revealed that PCR-RFLP is capable to identify INH-resistance in more than 76% of INH- resistant M. tuberculosis strains, and could be used for rapid identification of INH resistance. High levels of INH MIC were observed in the strains which had mutation in the KatG gene in position 315.

Characterization 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...

High level isoniazid resistance correlates with multiple mutation in the katG encoding catalase proxidase of pulmonary tuberculosis isolates from the frontier localities of Iran.

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 Iran. Drug suscep...

Investigation of Ser315 Substitutions within katG Gene in Isoniazid-Resistant Clinical Isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from South India

Mutation at codon 315 of katG gene is the major cause for isoniazid (INH) resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis). Substitution at codon 315 of katG gene was analyzed in 85 phenotypically resistant isolates collected from various parts of southern India by direct sequencing method. The obtained results were interpreted in the context of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ...
