Distribution of common and rare drug resistance patterns in Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates revealed by GenoType MTBDRplus and MTBDRsl assay.

ABSTRACT: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health emergency caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The epidemiology, transmission, genotypes, mutational patterns, and clinical consequences of TB have been extensively studied worldwide, however, there is a lack of information regarding the epidemiology and mutational patterns of Mtb in Pakistan, specifically concerning the prevalence of multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB). This study aimed to investigate the incidence of Mtb and associated mutational patterns using the line probe assay (LPA). Previous studies have reported a high frequency of mutations in the rpoB, inhA, and katG genes, which are associated with resistance to rifampicin (RIF) and isoniazid (INH). Therefore, the current study utilized LPA to detect mutations in the rpoB, katG, and inhA genes to identify multi-drug resistant Mtb. LPA analysis of a large pool of Mtb isolates, including samples from 241 sputum-positive patients, revealed that 34.85% of isolates were identified as MDR-TB, consistent with reports from various regions worldwide. The most prevalent mutations observed were rpoB S531L and inhA promoter C15T, which were associated with resistance to RIF and INH, respectively. This study highlights the effectiveness of GenoType MTBDRplus and MTBDRsl assays as valuable tools for TB management. These assays enable rapid detection of resistance to RIF, INH, and fluoroquinolones (FQs) in Mtb clinical isolates, surpassing the limitations of solid and liquid media-based methods. The findings contribute to our understanding of MDR-TB epidemiology and provide insights into the genetic profiles of Mtb in Pakistan, which are essential for effective TB control strategies.

Project description:BackgroundIsoniazid (INH) resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Hr-TB) is the most common type of drug resistant TB, and is defined as M tuberculosis complex (MTBC) strains resistant to INH but susceptible to rifampicin (RIF). Resistance to INH precedes RIF resistance in almost all multidrug resistant TB (MDR-TB) cases, across all MTBC lineages and in all settings. Therefore, early detection of Hr-TB is critical to ensure rapid initiation of appropriate treatment, and to prevent progression to MDR-TB. We assessed the performance of the GenoType MTBDRplus VER 2.0 line probe assay (LPA) in detecting isoniazid resistance among MTBC clinical isolates.MethodsA retrospective study was conducted among M. tuberculosis complex (MTBC) clinical isolates obtained from the third-round Ethiopian national drug resistance survey (DRS) conducted between August 2017 and December 2019. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the GenoType MTBDRplus VER 2.0 LPA in detecting INH resistance were assessed and compared to phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (DST) using the Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT) system. Fisher's exact test was performed to compare the performance of LPA between Hr-TB and MDR-TB isolates.ResultsA total of 137 MTBC isolates were included, of those 62 were Hr-TB, 35 were MDR-TB and 40 were INH susceptible. The sensitivity of the GenoType MTBDRplus VER 2.0 for detecting INH resistance was 77.4% (95% CI: 65.5-86.2) among Hr-TB isolates and 94.3% (95% CI: 80.4-99.4) among MDR-TB isolates (P = 0.04). The specificity of the GenoType MTBDRplus VER 2.0 for detecting INH resistance was 100% (95% CI: 89.6-100). The katG 315 mutation was observed in 71% (n = 44) of Hr-TB phenotypes and 94.3% (n = 33) of MDR-TB phenotypes. Mutation at position-15 of the inhA promoter region alone was detected in four (6.5%) Hr-TB isolates, and concomitantly with katG 315 mutation in one (2.9%) MDR-TB isolate.ConclusionsGenoType MTBDRplus VER 2.0 LPA demonstrated improved performance in detecting INH resistance among MDR-TB cases compared to Hr-TB cases. The katG315 mutation is the most common INH resistance conferring gene among Hr-TB and MDR-TB isolates. Additional INH resistance conferring mutations should be evaluated to improve the sensitivity of the GenoType MTBDRplus VER 2.0 for the detection of INH resistance among Hr-TB cases.

Project description:The GenoType MTBDRsl test rapidly detects resistance to ethambutol, fluoroquinolones, and second-line aminoglycosides (amikacin and kanamycin) and cyclic peptide (capreomycin) in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A set of 41 multidrug-resistant (MDR) M. tuberculosis strains, 8 extensively drug-resistant (XDR) M. tuberculosis strains, and 3 non-MDR M. tuberculosis strains were tested by the MTBDRsl test and by DNA sequencing of the resistance-determining regions in gyrA and gyrB (fluoroquinolones [FQ]), rpsL (streptomycin), rrs and tlyA (aminoglycosides and/or cyclic peptide), and embB (ethambutol). The sensitivity and specificity of the MTBDRsl test were as follows: 87% and 96%, respectively, for fluoroquinolones; 100% for both for amikacin; 77% and 100%, respectively, for kanamycin, 80% and 98%, respectively, for capreomycin; and 57% and 92%, respectively, for ethambutol. Analysis of the discrepant results indicated that three FQ-resistant strains (including one XDR strain) with mutations in gyrB were missed by the MTBDRsl test and that one FQ-susceptible strain, identified as resistant by the MTBDRsl test, had a double mutation (T80A-A90G) in GyrA that did not confer resistance to FQ. Five strains (including two XDR strains) without mutations in rrs were monoresistant to aminoglycosides or cyclic peptide and were missed by the MTBDRsl test. Finally, 12/28 ethambutol-resistant strains had no mutation at codon 306 in embB, while 2/24 ethambutol-susceptible strains had such a mutation. In conclusion, the MTBDRsl test efficiently detects the most common mutations involved in resistance to fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides/cyclic peptide, and ethambutol and accurately assesses susceptibility to amikacin. However, due to mutations not included in the test (particularly in gyrB) or resistance mechanisms not yet characterized (particularly those related to ethambutol resistance and to monoresistance to aminoglycosides or cyclic peptide), the wild-type results yielded by the MTBDRsl test should be confirmed by drug susceptibility testing.
