It has been established that the genomic background of Mycobacterium tuberculosis may influence disease progression, in particular for the Beijing family and the Latin American and Mediterranean (LAM)/RD strains. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of the LAM/RD genotype in cases of tuberculosis from Mexico and their drug susceptibility profile.
Two hundred eighteen M. tuberculosis isolates were screened by 43-spacer spoligotyping. The LAM/RD genotype was confirmed by multiplex PCR, and the drug susceptibility testing was carried out in solid Löwenstein-Jensen media.
Among the LAM strains identified, 24 (63.1%) were confirmed as M. tuberculosis RD. All RD strains shared the RD174 deletion, that was associated with isoniazid resistance (p=0.0264).
We documented for the first time the isolation of the LAM/RD genotype in pulmonary cases of tuberculosis in Mexico, and we found resistance to the first-line anti-tuberculosis drug isoniazid in these strains.
已经证实,结核分枝杆菌的基因组背景可能会影响疾病的进展,特别是对于北京家族和拉丁美洲/地中海(LAM)/RD 菌株。本研究的目的是评估来自墨西哥的结核病病例中 LAM/RD 基因型的流行情况及其药敏谱。
通过 43 间隔 spoligotyping 筛选了 218 株结核分枝杆菌分离株。通过多重 PCR 确认 LAM/RD 基因型,并在 Löwenstein-Jensen 固体培养基中进行药物敏感性测试。
在所鉴定的 LAM 株中,有 24 株(63.1%)被确认为结核分枝杆菌 RD。所有 RD 株均携带 RD174 缺失,与异烟肼耐药相关(p=0.0264)。
我们首次在墨西哥的肺结核病例中分离出 LAM/RD 基因型,并在这些菌株中发现了对一线抗结核药物异烟肼的耐药性。
