Mutations in the rpoB gene of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from China.

ABSTRACT: Mutations in the 81-bp rifampin resistance determining region (RRDR) and mutation V176F locating at the beginning of the ropB gene were analyzed by DNA sequencing of 86 Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates (72 resistant and 14 sensitive) from different parts of China. Sixty-five mutations of 22 distinct kinds, 21 point mutations, and 1 insertion were found in 65 of 72 resistant isolates. The most common mutations were in codons 531 (41%), 526 (40%), and 516 (4%). Mutations were not found in seven (10%) of the resistant isolates. Six new alleles within the RRDR, along with five novel mutations outside the RRDR, are reported. None of isolates contained the V176 mutation.

rpoB mutations in multidrug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated in Italy.

Project description:Mutations of rpoB associated with rifampin resistance were studied in 37 multidrug-resistant (MDR) clinical strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated in Italy. At least one mutated codon was found in each MDR strain. It was always a single-base substitution leading to an amino acid change. Nine different rpoB alleles, three of which had not been reported before, were found. The relative frequencies of specific mutations in this sample were different from those previously reported from different geographical areas, since 22 strains (59.5%) carried the mutated codon TTG in position 531 (Ser-->Leu) and 11 (29.7%) had GAC in position 526 (His-->Asp).

<i>rpoB</i> gene mutations in rifampin-resistant <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> isolates from rural areas of Zhejiang, China.

Project description:ObjectiveThe aim was to analyze genetic mutations in the rpoB gene of rifampin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates (RIFR-MTB) from Zhejiang, China.MethodsWe prospectively analyzed RIFR-associated mutations in 13 rural areas of Zhejiang. Isolates were subjected to species identification, phenotype drug susceptibility testing (DST), DNA extraction, and rpoB gene sequencing.ResultsA total of 103 RIFR isolates were identified by DST (22 RIFR only, 14 poly-drug resistant, 49 multidrug resistant, 13 pre-extensively drug resistant [pre-XDR], and 5 extensively drug resistant [XDR]) from 2152 culture-positive sputum specimens. Gene sequencing of rpoB showed that the most frequent mutation was S450L (37.86%, 39/103); mutations P280L, E521K, and D595Y were outside the rifampicin resistance-determining region (RRDR) but may be associated with RIFR. Mutations associated with poly-drug resistant, pre-XDR, and XDR TB were mainly located at codon 445 or 450 in the RRDR.ConclusionsThe frequency of rpoB RRDR mutation in Zhejiang is high. Further studies are needed to clarify the relationships between RIFR and the TTC insertion at codon 433 in the RRDR and the P280L and D595Y mutations outside the RRDR.

Characteristics of embB mutations in multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates in Henan, China.

Project description:ObjectivesTo determine the association between embB mutations and drug resistance, and to further investigate the mechanism of embB mutations involved in the development of ethambutol and multidrug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.MethodsOne hundred and thirty-eight multidrug-resistant clinical M. tuberculosis isolates, including 86 ethambutol-resistant and 52 ethambutol-susceptible strains, were analysed to characterize mutations within the entire coding region of the embB gene. Moreover, a two-step genotyping was performed to identify the genetic lineage.ResultsIn total, 27 embB mutation types were detected in 19 distinct codons. Though a strong association was observed between embB mutations and ethambutol resistance, 19.2% of embB306 mutants and 11.5% of embB406 or embB497 mutants were ethambutol susceptible. Among 39 ethambutol-resistant strains without embB306 mutations, 51.3% harboured mutations at codons 406 or 497. Particularly, three pairs of isolates with identical embB mutations and genotyping features were identified with variant ethambutol susceptibility. Among 77 isoniazid, rifampicin, streptomycin and ethambutol quadruple drug-resistant isolates, 89.6% carried embB mutations and 83.1% could be identified by detecting 10 embB mutations.ConclusionsOur results suggest embB mutations alone are not sufficient for the development of full resistance to ethambutol in M. tuberculosis and mutations other than embB are also needed. Our study confirms the importance of mutations at embB406 and embB497 as hotspots, in addition to embB306, for detecting ethambutol resistance. Ten selected mutations of embB, covered by a short PCR product, can be used as candidate markers for the prediction of quadruple resistance to isoniazid, rifampicin, streptomycin and ethambutol.

Analysis on Drug-Resistance-Associated Mutations among Multidrug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates in China.

Project description:As the causative bacteria of tuberculosis, Mycobacteriumtuberculosis (M. tb) is aggravated by the emergence of its multidrug-resistant isolates in China. Mutations of six of the most frequently reported resistant genes (rpoB, katG, inhA, embB, gyrA, and rpsL) were detected for rifampicin (RIF), isoniazid (INH), ethambutol (EMB), ofloxacin (OFX), and streptomycin (STR) in this study. The amino acid missense mutations (MMs) and their corresponding single nucleotide polymorphism mutations for all drug-resistant (DR) isolates are described in detail. All isolates were divided into non-extensively drug-resistant (Non-XDR) and preXDR/XDR groups. No statistical differences were detected among MMs and linked MMs (LMs) between the two groups, except for rpsL 88 (p = 0.037). In the preXDR/XDR group, the occurrence of MMs in rpoB, katG, and inhA developed phenotypic resistance and MMs of rpoB 531, katG 315, rpsL 43, and rpsL 88 could develop high levels of DR. It is necessary to carry out epidemiological investigations of DR gene mutations in the local region, and thus provide necessary data to support the design of new technologies for rapid detection of resistant M. tb and the optimization of detection targets.

Molecular characterization of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from China.

Project description:To investigate the molecular characterization of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) isolates from China and the association of specific mutations conferring drug resistance with strains of different genotypes, we performed spoligotyping and sequenced nine loci (katG, inhA, the oxyR-ahpC intergenic region, rpoB, tlyA, eis, rrs, gyrA, and gyrB) for 128 MDR-TB isolates. Our results showed that 108 isolates (84.4%) were Beijing family strains, 64 (59.3%) of which were identified as modern Beijing strains. Compared with the phenotypic data, the sensitivity and specificity of DNA sequencing were 89.1% and 100.0%, respectively, for isoniazid (INH) resistance, 93.8% and 100.0% for rifampin (RIF) resistance, 60.0% and 99.4% for capreomycin (CAP) resistance, 84.6% and 99.4% for kanamycin (KAN) resistance, and 90.0% and 100.0% for ofloxacin (OFX) resistance. The most prevalent mutations among the MDR-TB isolates were katG315, inhA15, rpoB531, -526, and -516, rrs1401, eis-10, and gyrA94, -90, and -91. Furthermore, there was no association between specific resistance-conferring mutations and the strain genotype. These findings will be helpful for the establishment of rapid molecular diagnostic methods to be implemented in China.

Analysis of embCAB mutations associated with ethambutol resistance in multidrug-resistant mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from China.

Project description:Ethambutol (EMB) plays a pivotal role in the chemotherapy of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB), including multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Resistance to EMB is considered to be caused by mutations in the embCAB operon (embC, embA, and embB). In this study, we analyzed the embCAB mutations among 139 MDR-TB isolates from China and found a possible association between embCAB operon mutation and EMB resistance. Our data indicate that 56.8% of MDR-TB isolates are resistant to EMB, and 82.2% of EMB-resistant isolates belong to the Beijing family. Overall, 110 (79.1%) MDR-TB isolates had at least one mutation in the embCAB operon. The majority of mutations were present in the embB gene and the embA upstream region, which also displayed significant correlations with EMB resistance. The most common mutations occurred at codon 306 in embB (embB306), followed by embB406, embA(-16), and embB497. Mutations at embB306 were associated with EMB resistance. DNA sequencing of embB306-497 was the best strategy for detecting EMB resistance, with 89.9% sensitivity, 58.3% specificity, and 76.3% accuracy. Additionally, embB306 had limited value as a candidate predictor for EMB resistance among MDR-TB infections in China.

Rifabutin Resistance Associated with Double Mutations in rpoB Gene in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates.

Project description:The objective of this study was to investigate the cross-resistance between rifampin (RIF) and rifabutin (RFB) among clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) isolates, and the correlations between specific rpoB mutations and the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of RIF and RFB. A total of 256 RIF-resistant isolates were included from the National Tuberculosis Clinical Laboratory in China. The MICs of MTB isolates against RIF and RFB were determined by using a microplate alamarBlue assay. In addition, all the MTB isolates were sequenced for mutations in rpoB gene. 204 out of 256 isolates (79.7%) were resistant to RFB, whereas 52 (20.3%) were susceptible to RFB. RIF-resistant/INH-susceptible (RR) group had a significant lower proportion of RFB-resistance than MDR- (P = 0.04) and XDR-TB group (P < 0.01). DNA sequencing revealed that there were 218 isolates (85.2%) with a single mutation, 26 (10.1%) with double mutations, and 12 (4.7%) without mutation in rpoB gene. Notably, although the single substitution of Leu511Pro, Asp516Gly, and His526Asn did not result in RFB resistance, 77.8% (7/9) of the MTB isolates with these double mutations became resistant to RFB. Compared with RR group (38.9%, 7/18), MDR-TB (63.5%, 106/167) had significantly higher proportion of isolates with mutations in codon 531 of rpoB gene (P = 0.04). Our data demonstrate that various rpoB mutations are associated with differential resistance to RIF and RFB. A single specific mutation in codons 511, 516, 526, and 533 was linked to the susceptibility to RFB for MTB, while the strains with these double mutations irrelevantly conferring RFB resistance produced RFB-resistant phenotype.

Discrimination of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis IS6110 fingerprint subclusters by rpoB gene mutation analysis.

Project description:The rpoB gene mutations in a 69-bp region of the gene, resulting in resistance to rifampin, were used to discriminate between Mycobacterium tuberculosis IS6110 fingerprint subclusters. These subclusters exhibited identical IS6110 fragments or had one or two additional fragments. In the two major subclusters all the analyzed strains have the same variant rpoB allele but are different from each other, suggesting the occurrence of independent outbreaks.
