Abstract:

    Background & Aim: Molecular epidemiology is the using of molecular techniques (e.g. Spoligotyping, RFLP VNTR) in order to study bacterial distribution in human populations. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of all genotypes in M. tuberculosis strains typed by spoligotyping and to determine the associated risk factors in patients with different nationalities residing in Iran. Patients & Methods: In this analytic cross-sectional study a total number of 439 patients who referred to NRITLD (a referral tuberculosis center in Iran) were registered during March 21st 2003 to March 21st 2004. The isolated Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains were characterized by performing susceptibility tests against four first-line antituberculosis drugs and were then subjected to spoligotyping characterization. T-test and ch-square test were used for analysis of the data. Results: Spoligotyping of M. tuberculosis strains resulted in 140 different patterns divided into three evolutionary groups(I, II, III). 122(87.1%) of these spoligotype isolates were unique and reported for the first time. The remaining 18(12.8%) spoligotype patterns were previously reported from other geographical regions of the world. Haarlem family was more prevalent than other genotypes. Interestingly, 6.3% of the strains belonged to the Beijing family. MDR(multi drug resistance), double and triple resistance were seen in group I of evolutionary scenario. Antibiotic resistance was higher in those isolated from Afghan patients(P<0.001). Other risk factors such as sex and age were also contributing factors to the disease state. Conclusion: Results showed that multi-drug-resistance was more prevalent in bacteria isolated from Afghan TB patients residing in Iran. In addition, the spread of M. tuberculosis strains belonging to Beijing family among Iranian patients has to be considered seriously. It is also important to undertake studies to identify which factors are the most significant to consider in tuberculosis control program.

بررسی فراوانی ژنوتیپ Beijing در نمونه های مایکوباکتریوم توبرکلوزیس جدا شده از بیماران مبتلا به سل شهر مشهد

Background and purpose: The Beijing genotype is one of the most important strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis involving outbreaks of tuberculosis in various parts of the world. Unsought regarding Beijing genotype in Iran, is the reason this study is undertaken in order to evaluate the frequency of this genotype in Mashhad. Materials and Methods:This descriptive study was carried out on 113...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing genotype emerging in Vietnam.

To assess whether the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing genotype is emerging in Vietnam, we analyzed 563 isolates from new cases by spoligotyping and examined the association between the genotype and age, resistance, and BCG vaccination status. Three hundred one (54%) patients were infected with Beijing genotype strains. The genotype was associated with younger age (and hence with active trans...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing Genotype, the Netherlands

T Beijing genotype is found frequently in Asia (1–3) but also in outbreaks of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDRTB) in various parts of the world, including Cuba, Germany, Russia, and Estonia (4–7). The largest known epidemic of MDRTB in North America was caused by the W strain, a variant of the Beijing genotype (8–9). A recent study showed this strain’s emergence and association with drug r...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing Genotype, Northern Malawi

In a 7-year population-based study in Malawi, we showed that Beijing genotype tuberculosis (TB) increased as a proportion of TB cases. All the Beijing genotype strains were fully drug sensitive. Contact histories, TB type, and case-fatality rates were similar for Beijing and non-Beijing genotype TB.
