Association of gyrA and rrs gene mutations detected by MTBDRsl V1 on Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains of diverse genetic background from India.

ABSTRACT: There is limited data on the use of Genotype MTBDRslVersion 1 (MTBDRsl V1) as an initial rapid screening test to rule out XDR-TB and most importantly its performance in various genotypes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is scarcely studied. A total of 359 MDR-TB isolates were tested for gene mutations representing second line drug resistance, using the MTBDRsl_V.1 and the results were compared with phenotypic method (Bactec MGIT-960 system) for second-line drug (SLD) susceptibility testing. Genetic lineages of all these isolates were also determined using spoligotyping and SITVIT2 WEB database. The MTBDRsl V1 detected mutations in the gyrA, rrs, and emb genes in 108 (30%), 2 (0.5%) and 129 (35.9%) isolates, respectively. Remaining 120 (33.4%) had no second line drug (SLD) resistance. In 17 (4.7%) isolates mutations were detected in both gyrA and rrs genes. Its concordance with MGIT-960 culture drug susceptibility testing (DST) was 97% and 94.1%, 93.5%, 60.5% and 50% for the detection of XDR-TB, pre-XDR, Ethambutol, and Aminoglycosides/Cyclopeptides resistance. The Beijing lineage was predominant (46%) between both the pre-XDR/XDR-TB isolates. We conclude that MTBDRsl is useful for rapid detection of SLD resistance. Also in pre-XDR and XDR-TB isolates the frequency of relevant genetic mutations was significantly higher in the Beijing strains.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Fluoroquinolone agents, such as enrofloxacin and marbofloxacin, are commonly used for pseudomonal infection in veterinary medicine. However, the rate of resistance to fluoroquinolones is rapidly increasing, according to multiple studies in various countries. Point mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR) are closely related to the increased fluoroquinolone resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The aim of this study was to investigate current antimicrobial susceptibility and fluoroquinolone resistance in P. aeruginosa strains isolated from dogs. The presence of point mutations in the QRDR was confirmed by gyrA and parC polymerase chain reaction and nucleotide sequencing analysis. RESULTS:A total of 84 nonduplicated P. aeruginosa strains were obtained from 228 healthy dogs (healthy group) and 260 dogs with clinical signs (infected group). Among these isolates, 38 strains from the healthy group were detected in several sample types, whereas 46 strains from the infected group were obtained mostly from dogs' ears with otitis externa (41/260, 15.8%). All strains were resistant to nalidixic acid, while some were also resistant to enrofloxacin (23/84, 27.4%), marbofloxacin (17/84, 20.2%), levofloxacin (12/84, 14.3%), or ciprofloxacin (11/84, 13.1%). Enrofloxacin resistance was significantly higher in strains from the infected group than in those from the healthy group (p?<?0.05). Among the 23 fluoroquinolone-resistant strains, 8 and 4 different mutations were detected in the gyrA and parC genes, respectively. Mutations in gyrA were significantly common in the infected group (p?<?0.05). Hotspots for the gyrA and parC mutations were Thr83 (34.8%, 8/23) and Pro116 (91.3%, 21/23), respectively. Double and triple mutations were also found in 5 of the strains. CONCLUSION:Novel mutations in the gyrA and parC genes were first found in P. aeruginosa isolated from companion dogs in South Korea. These findings suggest that it is important to encourage prudent use of fluoroquinolone antibiotics in canine pseudomonal infection treatment.

Project description:AimTo investigate the resistance of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) to ciprofloxacin (CIP), levofloxacin (LVX) and moxifloxacin (MOX) in the Beijing area and to elucidate the resistance mechanisms.MethodsSeventy-nine H. pylori clinical strains, isolated from patients who had undergone upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in Peking University First Hospital from 2007 to 2009, were tested for their susceptibility to CIP, LVX and MOX using the E-test method. H. pylori strain 26695 was included in the susceptibility testing as a control strain. According to the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values, a strain was classified as resistant to CIP, LVX or MOX when the MIC was > 1 microg/mL. We amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequenced the quinolone resistance-determining regions of the gyrA and gyrB genes from 29 quinolone-resistant and 16 quinolone-susceptible H. pylori strains selected at random.ResultsIn this study, the resistance rates of H. pylori to CIP, LVX or MOX were 55.7% (44/79), and the primary resistance rates were 26.6% (21/79). Patients with secondary resistance had received LVX in previous eradication treatments, but not MOX or CIP. Forty-five strains, including 29 CIP, LVX or MOX-resistant strains (MIC: 1.5-32 microg/mL) and 16 susceptible strains, were selected randomly from the 79 strains and used in PCR analysis. Among these 45 strains, 27 resistant strains had mutations in the gyrA gene, including 11 strains with mutations corresponding to Asp-91 (MIC: 2-32 microg/mL), one of which also had a mutation corresponding to Val-150, and 16 strains had mutations at Asn-87 (MIC: 4-32 microg/mL), three of which also had mutations corresponding to Arg-140 or Val-150. In addition, Arg-140, Val-150 or Ala-97 mutations were separately detected in three susceptible strains. Analysis of the gyrB gene showed that one strain of low resistance had a mutation corresponding to Ser-457 that coexisted with an Asp-91 mutation. There was a significant difference in the occurrence of mutations in the gyrA gene between CIP, LVX and MOX-resistant and -susceptible strains (P < 0.05), but 2 resistant strains were found to possess no quinolone resistance-determining region mutations.ConclusionResistance is primarily mediated through point mutations in gyrA. Whether other mechanisms are responsible for resistance in strains without mutations in the QRDR should be detected.
