Abstract:

Objective To understand the drug resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates from the drug-resistant surveillance sites in Fujian province from 2016 to 2019, and to analyze the trend of change in drug resistance, in order to provide reference for tuberculosis control. Methods The culture positive isolates from 9 drug-resistant surveillance sites in Fujian province were identified by PNB and TCH, and the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTPC) strains were performed the drug susceptibility test by proportion method. The tested 9 drugs included INH, RFP, SM, EMB, Km, Ofx, Cm, Pto and PAS. The drug resistance spectrum and resistant level was described. Results Among the 1434 MTPC strains, 1261 strains were isolated from new cases and 173 were isolated from re-treated cases. The overall drug resistance rate was 19.04% (273/1434), the mono-resistance rate was 11.65% (167/1434), the poly-resistance rate was 3.56% (51/1434), and the MDR rate was 3.84% (55/1434). The overall drug resistance rate (28.90%, 50/173) and MDR rate (12.14%, 21/173) in the retreated cases were significantly higher than those (17.68% (223/1261), 2.70% (34/1261)) in the new cases (χ2=12.419, P=0.000;χ2=36.775, P=0.000).The spectrum consisted of 42 different typed of drug resistance. Resistance rate of 9 drugs were Sm (9.90%, 142/1434), INH (8.30%, 119/1434), RFP (5.93%, 85/1434), Ofx (3.63%, 52/1434), EMB (2.30%, 33/1434), Km (0.98%, 14/1434), Cm (0.77%, 11/1434), PAS (0.77%, 11/1434), Pto (0.63%, 9/1434). The overall drug resistance rates from 2016 to 2019 were 17.69% (66/373), 22.34% (63/282), 20.31% (78/384) and 16.71% (66/395) respectively, which showed no trend of change (χtrend 2=0.248, P=0.619). Conclusion The drug resistance in Fujian province is at a low level and shows complex and diversity. It is necessary to pay attention to the screening of drug resistance and strengthen the treatment management of drug resistant patients.
