Bedaquiline (B), pretomanid (Pa) and linezolid (L) are key components of new regimens for treating rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis (TB). However, there is limited information on the global prevalence of resistance to these drugs and the impact of resistance on treatment outcomes. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) phenotypic drug susceptibility and whole-genome sequence (WGS) data, as well as patient profiles from 4 pretomanid-containing trials-STAND, Nix-TB, ZeNix and SimpliciTB-were used to investigate the rates of baseline resistance (BR) and acquired resistance (AR) to BPaL drugs, as well as their genetic basis, risk factors and impact on treatment outcomes. Data from >1,000 TB patients enrolled from 2015 to 2020 in 12 countries was assessed. We identified 2 (0.3%) participants with linezolid BR. Pretomanid BR was also rare, with similar rates across TB drug resistance types (0-2.1%). In contrast, bedaquiline BR was more prevalent among participants with highly resistant TB or longer prior treatment histories than those with newly diagnosed disease (5.2-6.3% vs. 0-0.3%). Bedaquiline BR was a risk factor for bacteriological failure or relapse in Nix-TB/ZeNix; 3/12 (25%, 95% CI 5-57%) participants with vs. 6/185 (3.2%, 1.2-6.9%) without bedaquiline BR. Across trials, we observed no linezolid AR, and only 3 cases of bedaquiline AR, including 2 participants with poor adherence. Overall, pretomanid AR was also rare, except in ZeNix patients with bedaquiline BR. WGS analyses revealed novel mutations in canonical resistant genes and, in 7 MTB isolates, the genetic determinants could not be identified. The overall low rates of BR to linezolid and pretomanid, and to a lesser extent to bedaquiline, observed in the pretomanid trials are in support of the worldwide implementation of BPaL-based regimens. Similarly, the overall low AR rates observed suggest BPaL drugs are better protected in the regimens trialed here than in other regimens combining bedaquiline with more, but less effective drugs.
贝达喹啉(B)、普瑞马尼德(Pa)和利奈唑胺(L)是治疗耐利福平结核病(TB)新方案的关键组成部分。然而,关于这些药物的全球耐药流行情况以及耐药对治疗结果的影响,相关信息有限。利用结核分枝杆菌(MTB)的表型药物敏感性和全基因组序列(WGS)数据,以及来自4项含普瑞马尼德试验(STAND、Nix-TB、ZeNix和SimpliciTB)的患者资料,来调查对BPaL药物的基线耐药(BR)率和获得性耐药(AR)率,以及它们的遗传基础、危险因素和对治疗结果的影响。评估了2015年至2020年期间在12个国家招募的1000多名结核病患者的数据。我们确定了2名(0.3%)有利奈唑胺BR的参与者。普瑞马尼德BR也很罕见,在不同类型的结核耐药中发生率相似(0-2.1%)。相比之下,与新诊断疾病的参与者相比,贝达喹啉BR在耐多药结核病患者或既往治疗史较长的参与者中更为普遍(5.2-6.3%对0-0.3%)。在Nix-TB/ZeNix试验中,贝达喹啉BR是细菌学治疗失败或复发的一个危险因素;有贝达喹啉BR的参与者中有3/12(25%,95%CI 5-57%),而无贝达喹啉BR的参与者中有6/185(3.2%,1.2-6.9%)。在各项试验中,我们未观察到利奈唑胺AR,仅观察到3例贝达喹啉AR,其中包括2名依从性差的参与者。总体而言,普瑞马尼德AR也很罕见,除了在有贝达喹啉BR的ZeNix患者中。WGS分析揭示了经典耐药基因中的新突变,并且在7株MTB分离株中,无法确定其遗传决定因素。在普瑞马尼德试验中观察到的利奈唑胺和普瑞马尼德BR总体低发生率,以及在较小程度上贝达喹啉BR的低发生率,支持在全球范围内实施基于BPaL的治疗方案。同样,观察到的总体低AR率表明,与其他将贝达喹啉与更多但效果较差的药物联合使用的方案相比,BPaL药物在本试验的治疗方案中受到更好的保护。
