We compared rifabutin susceptibility and rpoB mutations in 98 multi-drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR-TB) by DNA sequencing and with a line probe assay using the commercially available INNO-LiPA Rif. TB kit (the LiPA). Our results indicated that rifabutin continues to remain active against MDR-TB strains harboring certain genetic alterations and also that the LiPA might be useful in identifying MDR-TB strains susceptible to rifabutin.
我们通过 DNA 测序和使用市售的 INNO-LiPA Rif. TB 试剂盒(LiPA)进行线探针杂交试验比较了 98 株耐多药结核分枝杆菌(MDR-TB)对利福布汀的敏感性和 rpoB 突变。结果表明,利福布汀对携带某些遗传改变的 MDR-TB 菌株仍然有效,并且 LiPA 可能有助于鉴定对利福布汀敏感的 MDR-TB 菌株。
