Mechanism of Drug Resistance in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis

Abstract: Mycobacterium tuberculosis the causative agent of tuberculosis has many intrinsic features which enable it to evade the activity of antibiotics. Many studies have been carried out to understand the mechanisms of drug resistance by this organism. An attempt was made in this write up to elucidate the various mechanism of drug resistance in M. tuberculosis, including its innate impermeable cell wall and mutation of specific genes. Drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is not a product of a single homogene… Show more

“…2. Механизм действия R заключается в связывании с ß-субъединицей РНК-полимеразы, участвующей в удлинении матричной РНК, а мутации в rpoB приводят к развитию резистентности МБТ к этому препарату [4].…”

“…The currently recommended treatment for drug‐susceptible M. tuberculosis is a 6–9-month-long regimen with a combination of four first‐line drugs: isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide (Honeyborne et al 2019 ). The epidemic occurred due to inadequate treatment regimens, which often lead to drug‐resistant strains that represent a major threat to global public health (Abraham et al 2020 ). In 2015, a 90% reduction in TB deaths and 80% in TB incidence was predicted by the WHO in its 2030 goals (WHO 2017 ).…”

“…For example, in studies conducted by Khalilzadeh et al and Song et al, clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis showed primary resistance towards rifampicin, isoniazid, streptomycin, and ethambutol [55] , [56] . Rifampicin and isoniazid resistance is associated with mutations in the rpoB gene of the RNA polymerase and katG , inhA , ahpC , kasA genes, respectively [48] , [57] .…”
