Abstract: Objective RpoB、KatG、rpsL genes mutation analysis of INH、RFP、SM resistance in isolates of M.tuberculosis (MTB) were undertaken by PCR single strand conformation poylymorphism (SSCP),and to evaluating the value of diagnosing resistance of MTB.Methods Detecting of INH、RFP、SM resistance in 32 isolates strains of MTB and drug susceptivity in 25 isolates strains of MTB by PCR SSCP.Results Among 32 multidrug resistant isolates strains of MTB,28、19、23 isolates had very different rpoB、KatG、rpsL gene mutation pattern of PCR SSCP compared with that of the reference strain (H 37 Rv),and drug susceptivity in 25 isolates had the same PCR SSCP pattern.Compared with drug sensitive test,sensitivity to detecting rpoB、KatG、rpsL genes by PCR SSCP was 87.5%,59.3%,71.9% respectively,and specificity was 100%.Conclusion PCR SSCP is a sensitive and specific method for rapid detecting rpoB、KatG、rpsL genes mutations of MTB,and useful in rapid detecting the multidrug resistant MTB.
