Genotypic characterization of multi-drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates in Myanmar

Abstract: 25The number of multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) cases is rising worldwide. As a 26 countermeasure against this situation, the implementation of rapid molecular tests to identify MDR-27 TB would be effective. To develop such tests, information on the frequency and distribution of

“…Of particular interest, a vast majority of isolates showed a Ser to Thr (AGC → ACC) substitution at codon 315 (63.0%). This is consistent with the results reported previously (18,19). We also detected mutations at codons 315, 431, and 439 of katG in one isolate, meanwhile, the Thr271 → Ala (ACT → GCT) substitution was detected in another isolate.…”

“…We only detected a single mutation at codon 3 in one (1.1%) isolate, codon 21 in three (3.3%) isolates, and codon 94 in one (1.1%) isolate and their amino acid substitutions were synonymous mutation (GGA → GGC), Ile21 → Thr (ATC → ACC), and Ser94 → Ala (TCG → GCG), respectively. It is worth noting that we did not detect the common frequent mutation (C-15T) in the inhA gene while this mutation was reported in phenotypically resistant isolates in many countries such as Myanmar, the Kyrgyz Republic, and Ecuador (18,19,21). It might be related to regional differences.…”

“…A previous report found a high prevalence of the katG S315T gene mutation among HR-TB/MDR-TB/XDR-TB strains (58.7%-68.6%) in Thailand. 16,17 The prevalence of katG S315T varied according to the geographic region: Southeast Asia (78.4%), 18 Vietnam (85.3%), 19 Myanmar (61.2%), 20 Taiwan (29.3%), 6 Japan (25%), 10 India (67.6%), 21 Sri Lanka (67.8%), 22 Romania (52.8%), 23 Cameroon (64%), 24 and the United States (38%). 8 The different ranges of MIC found for each mutation gene can be explained by gene variation.…”
