detection of embb gene mutations in emb-resistant mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from isfahan province by pcr-sscp and direct sequencing
Authors
abstract
conclusions we concluded from the results that the frequency of emb-resistant m. tuberculosis cases in iran is lower than that of many other regions. the pcr-sscp technique can separate resistant isolates from sensitive isolates. the sequencing results of this study showed mutation in codons 309 and 299 of the embb gene. in none of the resistant isolates, mutation was observed in codon 306. further studies are required to determine other point mutations and analyze other genetic loci associated with emb resistance in m. tuberculosis isolates in iran. results in a total of 32 isolates, two isolates (6.25%) were found to be resistant to emb in 2, 5, and 10 μg/ml concentrations. single-strand conformational polymorphism showed altered mobility with triple bands in the resistant isolates and double bands in the sensitive isolates. in the two emb-resistant cases, mutation was found to occur codons 309and 299. methods thirty-two m. tuberculosis isolates from the isfahan tuberculosis center were characterized by conventional methods and specific amplification of the regions of difference (rd) gene and internal transcribed spacer (its) gene. observing standard operational procedures, emb susceptibility tests were performed on the lj medium using the proportion method with 2, 5, and 10 μg/ml concentrations. pcr-sscp and direct sequencing were used to detect different kinds of mutation in the embb gene with precision. background ethambutol (emb) is the first-line drug used for the treatment of tuberculosis. recent reports on the emb-resistant isolates of mycobacterium tuberculosis in different geographical regions of the world have revealed the emb resistance patterns of m. tuberculosis and mutations in the embb gene. objectives in this study, we determined the emb locus in sensitive and resistant iranian m. tuberculosis isolates using two effective methods for the detection of point mutation, i.e., single-strand conformational polymorphism (sscp) and direct sequencing.

Mutations 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...

Detection of Ethambutol-Resistant Associated Mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates from Iran Using Multiplex Allele-Specific PCR
Tuberculosis is a serious global public health problem and its high prevalence is stron gly associated with the enhancement of drug resistance. In this study we demonstrate a multiplex allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (MAS)-PCR assay to simultaneously detect mutations in the first and third bases of the embB gene codon 306 ATG in ethambutol (EMB) resistant isolates of Mycobacterium t...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Ethambutol (EMB) resistance, thought to be occurring due to mutations in embB gene of Mycobacterium tuberculosis on the rise is a cause of grave concern. The present study was planned to investigate the presence of EMB resistance in M. tuberculosis isolates and to look for prevalent mutations in embB gene. METHODS A total of 591(283 from new and 308 from previously trea...

Sixty rifampin (RIF)-resistant and 75 RIF-susceptible Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from Shandong Province, China, were analyzed for rpoB gene mutations and genotyped. Mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit (MIRU) genotype 223325173533 was overrepresented among RIF-resistant isolates. MIRU combined with IS6110 restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis as the second-line genoty...

Ethambutol (EMB) continues to be used as part of a standard drug regimen for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). Mutations in the embB gene and those within its conserved EMB resistance determining region (ERDR) in particular have repeatedly been associated with resistance to EMB in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The aim of this study was to examine the mutational "hot spots" in the embB gene, inc...
