Tuberculosis (TB) is among the most deadly diseases that affect worldwide, its impact is mainly due to the continuous emergence of resistant isolates during treatment due to the laborious process of resistance diagnosis, non-adherence to treatment and circulation of previously resistant isolates ofMycobacterium tuberculosis. The aim in this study was evaluate the performance and functionalities of web-based tools: Mykrobe, TB-profiler, PhyReSse, KvarQ, and SAM-TB for detecting resistance in isolate ofMycobacterium tuberculosisin comparison with conventional drug susceptibility tests. We used 88M. tuberculosisisolates which were drug susceptibility tested and subsequently fully sequenced and web-based tools analysed. Statistical analysis was performed to determine the correlation between genomic and phenotypic analysis. Our data show that the main sub-lineage was LAM (44.3%) followed by X-type (23.0%) within isolates evaluated. Mykrobe has a higher correlation with DST (98% of agreement and 0.941Cohen's Kappa) for global resistance detection, but SAM-TB, PhyReSse and Mykrobe had a better correlation with DST for first-line drug analysis individually. We have identified that 50% of mutations characterised by all web-based tools were canonical inrpoB, katG,embB, pncA, gyrAandrrsregions. Our findings suggest that SAM-TB, PhyReSse and Mykrobe were the web-based tools more efficient to determine canonical resistance-related mutations, however more analysis should be performed to improve second-line detection. The improvement of surveillance programs for the TB isolates applying WGS tools against first line drugs, MDR-TB and XDR-TB are priorities to discern the molecular epidemiology of this disease in the country.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
