Impact of gyrB and eis Mutations in Improving Detection of Second-Line-Drug Resistance among Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates from Georgia.

ABSTRACT: The country of Georgia has a high burden of multi- and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB). To evaluate whether mutations in gyrB and eis genes increased the sensitivity of detection of phenotypic resistance to ofloxacin and kanamycin or capreomycin compared to use of the first-generation MTBDRsl assay alone, which tests for mutations in gyrA and rrs genes, a retrospective study of stored Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates was performed. All isolates underwent DNA sequencing of resistance-determining regions. Among 112 M. tuberculosis isolates with DNA extraction data, targeted sequencing was successfully performed for each gene as follows: for gyrA, 98% sensitivity; for gyrB, 96%; for rrs, 93%; for the eis gene and its promoter, 93%. The specificity and hence the positive predictive value of gyrA and gyrB mutations for detecting ofloxacin resistance were 100%. The addition of gyrB mutations increased the sensitivity of phenotypic ofloxacin resistance detection by 13% (75% to 88%). All rrs resistance-conferring mutations were A1401G, and this mutation had low sensitivity (40% and 18%) and high specificity (95% and 100%) in predicting phenotypic capreomycin and kanamycin resistance, respectively. The eis C-14T mutation increased the sensitivity of phenotypic kanamycin resistance detection by 9% (18% to 27%) and was found solely in kanamycin phenotypic resistance isolates. Our data showed that the inclusion of eis C-14T and gyrB mutations in addition to rrs and gyrA mutations improves the sensitivity of detection of phenotypic ofloxacin and kanamycin resistance, respectively.

Project description:Rapid molecular diagnostics have great potential to limit the spread of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) (M/XDR-TB). These technologies detect mutations in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome that confer phenotypic drug resistance. However, there have been few data published regarding the relationships between the detected M. tuberculosis resistance mutations and M/XDR-TB treatment outcomes, limiting our current ability to exploit the full potential of molecular diagnostics. We analyzed clinical, microbiological, and sequencing data for 451 patients and their clinical isolates collected in a multinational, observational cohort study to determine if there was an association between M. tuberculosis resistance mutations and patient mortality. The presence of an rrs 1401G mutation was associated with significantly higher odds of patient mortality (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 5.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.65 to 19.84]) after adjusting for relevant patient clinical characteristics and all other resistance mutations. Further analysis of mutations, categorized by the associated resistance level, indicated that the detection of mutations associated with high-level fluoroquinolone (OR, 3.99 [95% CI, 1.10 to 14.40]) and kanamycin (OR, 5.47 [95% CI, 1.64 to 18.24]) resistance was also significantly associated with higher odds of patient mortality, even after accounting for clinical site, patient age, reported smoking history, body mass index (BMI), diabetes, HIV, and all other resistance mutations. Specific gyrA and rrs resistance mutations, associated with high-level resistance, were associated with patient mortality as identified in clinical M. tuberculosis isolates from a diverse M/XDR-TB patient population at three high-burden clinical sites. These results have important implications for the interpretation of molecular diagnostics, including identifying patients at increased risk for mortality during treatment. (This study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under registration no. NCT02170441.).

Project description:BackgroundThe detection of mutations in the gyrA and gyrB genes in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome that have been demonstrated to confer phenotypic resistance to fluoroquinolones is the most promising technology for rapid diagnosis of fluoroquinolone resistance.MethodsIn order to characterize the diversity and frequency of gyrA and gyrB mutations and to describe the global distribution of these mutations, we conducted a systematic review, from May 1996 to April 2013, of all published studies evaluating Mycobacterium tuberculosis mutations associated with resistance to fluoroquinolones. The overall goal of the study was to determine the potential utility and reliability of these mutations as diagnostic markers to detect phenotypic fluoroquinolone resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and to describe their geographic distribution.ResultsForty-six studies, covering four continents and 18 countries, provided mutation data for 3,846 unique clinical isolates with phenotypic resistance profiles to fluoroquinolones. The gyrA mutations occurring most frequently in fluoroquinolone-resistant isolates, ranged from 21-32% for D94G and 13-20% for A90V, by drug. Eighty seven percent of all strains that were phenotypically resistant to moxifloxacin and 83% of ofloxacin resistant isolates contained mutations in gyrA. Additionally we found that 83% and 80% of moxifloxacin and ofloxacin resistant strains respectively, were observed to have mutations in the gyrA codons interrogated by the existing MTBDRsl line probe assay. In China and Russia, 83% and 84% of fluoroquinolone resistant strains respectively, were observed to have gyrA mutations in the gene regions covered by the MTBDRsl assay.ConclusionsMolecular diagnostics, specifically the Genotype MTBDRsl assay, focusing on codons 88-94 should have moderate to high sensitivity in most countries. While we did observe geographic differences in the frequencies of single gyrA mutations across countries, molecular diagnostics based on detection of all gyrA mutations demonstrated to confer resistance should have broad and global utility.
