Co-resistance to isoniazid and second-line anti-tuberculosis drugs in isoniazid-resistant tuberculosis at a tertiary care hospital in Thailand.

ABSTRACT: Isoniazid-resistant tuberculosis (Hr-TB) is an important drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB). In addition to rifampicin, resistance to other medications for Hr-TB can impact the course of treatment; however, there are currently limited data in the literature. In this study, the drug susceptibility profiles of Hr-TB treatment and resistance-conferring mutations were investigated for Hr-TB clinical isolates from Thailand. Phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (pDST) and genotypic drug susceptibility testing (gDST) were retrospectively and prospectively investigated using the Mycobacterium Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT), the broth microdilution (BMD) method, and whole-genome sequencing (WGS)-based gDST. The prevalence of Hr-TB cases was 11.2% among patients with TB. Most Hr-TB cases (89.5%) were newly diagnosed patients with TB. In the pDST analysis, approximately 55.6% (60/108) of the tested Hr-TB clinical isolates exhibited high-level isoniazid resistance. In addition, the Hr-TB clinical isolates presented co-resistance to ethambutol (3/161, 1.9%), levofloxacin (2/96, 2.1%), and pyrazinamide (24/118, 20.3%). In 56 Hr-TB clinical isolates, WGS-based gDST predicted resistance to isoniazid [katG S315T (48.2%) and fabG1 c-15t (26.8%)], rifampicin [rpoB L430P and rpoB L452P (5.4%)], and fluoroquinolones [gyrA D94G (1.8%)], but no mutation for ethambutol was detected. The categorical agreement for the detection of resistance to isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, and levofloxacin between WGS-based gDST and the MGIT or the BMD method ranged from 80.4% to 98.2% or 82.1% to 100%, respectively. pDST and gDST demonstrated a low co-resistance rate between isoniazid and second-line TB drugs in Hr-TB clinical isolates.

Importance

The prevalence of isoniazid-resistant tuberculosis (Hr-TB) is the highest among other types of drug-resistant tuberculosis. Currently, the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines recommend the treatment of Hr-TB with rifampicin, ethambutol, pyrazinamide, and levofloxacin for 6 months. The susceptibility profiles of Hr-TB clinical isolates, especially when they are co-resistant to second-line drugs, are critical in the selection of the appropriate treatment regimen to prevent treatment failure. This study highlights the susceptibility profiles of the WHO-recommended treatment regimen in Hr-TB clinical isolates from a tertiary care hospital in Thailand and the concordance and importance of using the phenotypic drug susceptibility testing or genotypic drug susceptibility testing for accurate and comprehensive interpretation of results.

Project description:Rapid molecular diagnostics have great potential to limit the spread of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) (M/XDR-TB). These technologies detect mutations in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome that confer phenotypic drug resistance. However, there have been few data published regarding the relationships between the detected M. tuberculosis resistance mutations and M/XDR-TB treatment outcomes, limiting our current ability to exploit the full potential of molecular diagnostics. We analyzed clinical, microbiological, and sequencing data for 451 patients and their clinical isolates collected in a multinational, observational cohort study to determine if there was an association between M. tuberculosis resistance mutations and patient mortality. The presence of an rrs 1401G mutation was associated with significantly higher odds of patient mortality (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 5.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.65 to 19.84]) after adjusting for relevant patient clinical characteristics and all other resistance mutations. Further analysis of mutations, categorized by the associated resistance level, indicated that the detection of mutations associated with high-level fluoroquinolone (OR, 3.99 [95% CI, 1.10 to 14.40]) and kanamycin (OR, 5.47 [95% CI, 1.64 to 18.24]) resistance was also significantly associated with higher odds of patient mortality, even after accounting for clinical site, patient age, reported smoking history, body mass index (BMI), diabetes, HIV, and all other resistance mutations. Specific gyrA and rrs resistance mutations, associated with high-level resistance, were associated with patient mortality as identified in clinical M. tuberculosis isolates from a diverse M/XDR-TB patient population at three high-burden clinical sites. These results have important implications for the interpretation of molecular diagnostics, including identifying patients at increased risk for mortality during treatment.
