An A1400G mutation of the rrs gene was identified in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) strain ATCC 35827 and in 13 MTB clinical isolates resistant to amikacin-kanamycin (MICs, >128 microg/ml). High-level cross-resistance may result from such a mutation since MTB has a single copy of the rrs gene. Another mechanism(s) may account for high-level amikacin-kanamycin resistance in two mutants and lower levels of resistance in four clinical isolates, all lacking the A1400G mutation.
在结核分枝杆菌(MTB)菌株ATCC 35827以及13株对阿米卡星-卡那霉素耐药(最低抑菌浓度,>128μg/ml)的MTB临床分离株中,鉴定出rrs基因的A1400G突变。由于MTB只有rrs基因的单拷贝,这种突变可能导致高水平交叉耐药。另外的机制可能解释了两个突变体中高水平的阿米卡星-卡那霉素耐药以及四个临床分离株中较低水平的耐药,这些菌株均不存在A1400G突变。
