Abstract:

Objective To investigate the characteristics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis(MTB) gene mutation which are related with drug resistance to five first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs and their correlations with genotypes. Methods Whole-genome sequencing were performed on 721 MTB strains collected from drug resistance surveillance in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in 2017. Analyze the characteristics of drug resistance-related gene mutations and their correlation with genotypes. Results The total drug resistance-related gene mutation rate was 30.93% (223/721). The top 5 genes of mutation were katG (16.09%,116/721), rpoB (12.21%,88/721), embB (8.46%,61/721), rpsL (6.10%,44/721) and rrs (4.72%,34/721). The top 5 mutation loci were katG315 (12.34%,89/721), rpsL43 (5.27%,38/721), rpoB450 (4.85%,35/721), embB306 (4.02%,29/721) and rpoB445 (2.91%,21/721). RpsL, rpsL43 and rpoB445 mutation rate were higher in Beijing genotype strains than in non-Beijing genotype strains (10.51% (43/409) vs. 0.32% (1/312),χ2=32.090,P=0.000; 9.05% (37/409) vs. 0.32% (1/312),χ2=26.992,P=0.000; 4.40% (18/409) vs. 0.96% (3/312), χ2=7.404,P=0.007). Conclusion KatG,rpoB,embB,rpsL,rrs were the main drug resistance-related gene mutations in Guangxi MTB strains. The mutations in rpsL, rpsL43 and rpoB445 were correlated with Beijing genotype.
