Change in prevalence and molecular characteristics of isoniazid-resistant tuberculosis over a 10-year period in China.

Abstract：

BACKGROUND:Isoniazid (INH) represents the cornerstone for the treatment of cases infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) strains. Several molecular mechanisms have been shown to be the major causes for INH resistance, while the dynamic change of mutations conferring INH resistance among MTB strains during the past decade is still unknown in China. METHODS:In this study, we carried out a comparative analysis of the INH minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) distribution, and investigate the dynamic change of molecular characteristics among INH-resistant MTB strains between 2005 and 2015. RESULTS:The proportion of INH resistance (39.0%, 105/269) in 2015 was significantly higher than in 2005 (30.0%, 82/273; P = 0.03). Among 269 isolates collected in 2015, 76 (28.3%, 76/269) exhibited high-level INH-resistance (MIC≥32 mg/L), which was significantly higher than that in 2005 (20.5%, 56/273, P = 0.04). In addition, a significantly higher percentage of INH-resistant isolates carried inhA promoter mutations in 2015 (26.7%) versus that in 2005 (14.6%, P = 0.04), while no significant difference was observed in the rates of isolates containing katG mutations between 2005 (76.8%) and 2015 (70.5%, P = 0.33). Notably, the proportion of MTB isolates with inhA mutations (26.7%, 28/105) for patients who had previous exposure to protionamide (PTH) was higher than that for patients who had no previous exposure to PTH (21.4%, 6/28). CONCLUSIONS:In conclusion, our results demonstrated that the proportion of INH-resistant MTB isolates significantly increased during the last decade, which was mainly attributed to an increase of high-level INH-resistant MTB. In addition, prior exposure to PTH may be associated with the increased frequency of INH-resistant tuberculosis strains with inhA mutations in China.
