24 loci MIRU-VNTR analysis and pattern of drug resistance in pre-extensively drug resistant pulmonary tuberculosis in Bangladesh
Infection, Genetics and Evolution(2022)
Abstract
Phylogenetic diversity and distinct phylogeographic distribution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) contribute to regional differences in drug resistance. The emergence of pre-extensively drug resistant tuberculosis (Pre-XDR-TB) becomes obstacles to achieve End TB strategy in Bangladesh. This cross-sectional study was conducted to identify the strains of different lineages of MTB, their variations of distribution among Pre-XDR-TB cases and to observe the linkage of particular strains of MTB with drug resistance. A total of 33 Pre-XDR-TB isolates were enrolled in this study. All isolates were confirmed as MTB by MPT 64 antigen detection and genotyped by 24 loci Mycobacterial Interspersed Repetitive Unit-Variable Number of Tandem Repeats (MIRU-VNTR) analysis. Drug resistance was detected by second line Line probe assay (LPA). Beijing was the predominant strain 16 (48.48%), followed by Delhi/CAS 5(15.15%), LAM 4 (12.12%) and Harlem 3(9.10%), EAI 2(6.06%), Cameroon 2(6.06%) and NEW-1 1(3.03%). There were 31 different genotypes consisting of 2 clusters and 29 singletons. All the clustered strains were belonged to Beijing lineage. Recent transmission occurred manly by Beijing strains, showed low transmission rate (12.1%). Of 33 isolates 30(90.90%) were Fluoroquinolones resistant, the mutations involved was Asp94Gly in gyr A MUT 3C gene 13(39.39%) in quinolone resistance determining region (QRDR) followed by 11 (33.33%) in gyr A MUT 1. Three (9.10%) isolates showed resistant to injectable 2nd line drugs and all mutation occurs in G1484T of rrs MUT 2. Beijing lineage was predominant in treatment failure and relapse cases. Levofloxacin was resistant to all Pre-XDR-TB cases, but moxifloxacin showed low level resistance. QUB 26 was the most discriminatory locus (0.85) among 24 loci whereas MIRU 2 was the least (0.03). 24 loci MIRU-VNTR analysis shows high discriminatory index (0.71), found to be powerful tool for genotyping of PreXDR-TB, which is the first study in Bangladesh that enhanced the current TB control policy.
