- Total 558 multidrug resistant, 293 RIF mono resistant and 923 INH mono resistant tuberculosis were detected from the 12,786 MDR suspects samples.
- Most frequent mutations were found in the region of MUT: S531L as 50.5% and 55.6% specimens out of 558 MDR-TB and 293 rifampicin monoresistant cases.
- The rate of occurrences of mutations was found widely in the Rifampicin Resistant Determination Region of rpoB gene, but the hypervariable regions of 530-533 were alarming in the specification.
- Six strains had novel MUT3A (T8C) mutation for isoniazid drug.
Purpose: To analyze prevalence of mutations in genes associated with rifampicin and isoniazid resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates from patients with possible MDR TB of Puducherry, South India and to explore the association of specific mutations conferring rifampicin (RIF) resistance.Methods: We performed a commercial Genotype MDBDRplus V.2.0 assay for the rapid detection of rifampicin and isoniazid resistance directly on sputum specimens of patients with possible MDR TB.Results: Totally 558 multidrug resistant, 293 RIF mono resistant and 923 INH mono resistant tuberculosis were detected from the 12,786 patients with possible MDR TB samples. The 50.5% mutations were observed in the region of S531L in MDR TB patients and 55.6% in rifampicin monoresistant cases. In total isoniazid monoresistant, 68.0% mutations were detected in katG gene, which is more prevalent in comparison to inhA gene 32.0%. There were about 57.9% and 32.2% MDR TB cases diagnosed in the age group of >â15 to â¤â45 years and >â45 to â¤â60 years respectively.Conclusions: The rate of occurrences of mutations were found widely in the Rifampicin Resistant Determination Region (81 bp) of rpoB gene and the hypervariable region 530-533 codons of rpoB gene is alarming in the specification. The higher frequency of mutation in codons of rpoB (S531L) and katG (S315T) gene help to design simple, new and less expensive molecular techniques to use in peripheral laboratories.
