Abstract: Objective Analyze the drug resistance of clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis(MTB) in pulmonary tuberculosis patients managed by the Beijing tuberculosis prevention and control institutions to support the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis in Beijing. Methods The 1241 positive isolates of mycobacteria from January to December in 2019 all came from the Beijing tuberculosis prevention and control institutions. Identification (PNB/TCH growth test) and drug susceptibility tests of M.tuberculosis (the proportion method for 8 anti-tuberculosis drugs) were carried out. Drugs for sensitivity tests included INH,RFP,Sm,EMB,Lfx,Am,Cm and PAS. Results Among the 1241 mycobacteria positive isolates in 2019,1156 (93.15%) strains were MTB, and 85 (6.85%) strains were non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). Among the 1156 MTB isolates, the total drug resistant rate was 24.83% (287/1156). The drug-resistant rate was 7.27% (84/1156), 6.75% (78/1156),5.28% (61/1156),1.73% (20/1156) and 0.17% (2/1156) for RFP, PDR, MDR, Pre-XDR and XDR respectively. The order of resistance to 8 anti-tuberculosis drugs was Sm (17.91%,207/1156) > INH (11.76%,136/1156) > RFP (7.27%,84/1156) > EMB (4.84%,56/1156) > Lfx (4.76%,55/1156) > PAS (2.16%,25/1156) > Cm (1.47%,17/1156) > Am (0.69%,8/1156). There were 43 types of drug-resistant profiles, including 7 monoresistant, 6 MDR,8 Pre-XDR,1 XDR, 21 PDR. Conclusion The drug resistance profiles of clinical isolates of tuberculosis patients managed by the Beijing tuberculosis prevention and control institutions are diverse and complex. We should strengthen the screening of drug-resistant tuberculosis patients for the management and treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis patients preferably.
