Abstract: | AIMS: To develop and evaluate a novel genotypic test for rapid detection of rifampicin and isoniazid resistance of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates by a multiplex probe array. METHODS AND RESULTS: A multiplex probe array was designed for genotypic test to simultaneously screen the mutations of rpoB, katG, inhA and ahpC genes, associated with rifampin and isoniazid resistance in M. tuberculosis, with a probe detecting one of the recently confirmed genetic markers of isoniazid resistance ahpC-6 and -9 locus added. By using the genotypic test developed, 52 MDR isolates were identified, among which 46 isolates had mutations in rpoB (88.5%) and 45 at codon 315 of katG, regulatory region of inhA and oxyR-ahpC intergenic region (86.5%), whereas all 35 susceptible isolates identified showed a wild-type hybridization pattern. The sensitivity and specificity were 88.5% and 100% for rifampicin resistance, and 86.5% and 100% for isoniazid resistance, respectively. CONCLUSION: A rapid and simultaneous detection of rifampicin and isoniazid resistance caused by the mutations of rpoB, katG, inhA and ahpC genes in M. tuberculosis isolates could be achieved by a multiplex probe array developed. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This genotypic test protocol has the potential to be developed on clinical application for the rapid detection of drug resistant M. tuberculosis isolates before an efficient chemotherapy is initiated. |
