Abstract

Objective To understand the molecular characteristics of Streptomycin (SM) resistance in multidrug-resistanttuberculosis(MDR-TB) in Jiangxi Province, and to explore the relationship between SM resistant genes (rpsL, rrs and gidB) mutations and SM resistant phenotypes in Beijing genotype TB. Methods 106 non-replicated MDR-TB isolates were collected from Gaoxin Branch of The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University and Jiangxi Provincial Chest Hospital from January to December 2021, and tested for drug-resistance phenotypes, whether they were Beijing genotype or not and the characteristics of rpsL, rrs and gidB gene mutations. Chi-square test was performed to determine whether rpsL, rrs and gidB mutations were related to genotypes and drug-resistance phenotypes. Results Among 106 cases of MDR-TB, 76 cases were resistant to SM. A total of 58 cases had rpsL 43A > G mutation, 8 cases had 88A > G mutation, 5 cases had rrs mutation, and 3 cases had gidB mutation. Statistical analysis showed that the coincidence rate of gene mutation and phenotypic drug-resistance detection was 89.6%, and the specificity and sensitivity were 86.7% and 90.8%, respectively. The isolated rate of Beijing genotype TB was 88.7%, and the drug-resistant gene mutations were mainly concentrated in rpsL and rrs, while the drug-resistant mutations of non-Beijing genotype were mainly concentrated in gidB; in addition, Beijing genotype bacteria were more prone to gene mutations (P = 0.013), but there was no difference in phenotypic drug-resistance. Conclusions Mutations in rpsL, rrs, and gidB genes have a good coincidence rate with phenotypic drug-resistance, and molecular biology can be used to detect directly drug-resistance genes to predict bacterial resistance; TB genotypes are strongly associated with streptomycin resistance characteristics.
