RESUMO

Globally, mutations in the katG gene account for the majority of isoniazid-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Buyankhishig et al. analyzed a limited number of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains in Mongolia and found that isoniazid resistance was mainly attributable to inhA mutations (B. Buyankhishig, T. Oyuntuya, B. Tserelmaa, J. Sarantuya, et al., Int J Mycobacteriol 1:40-44, 2012, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmyco.2012.01.007). The GenoType MTBDRplus assay was performed for isolates collected in the First National Tuberculosis Prevalence Survey and the Third Anti-Tuberculosis Drug Resistance Survey to investigate genetic mutations associated with isoniazid resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Mongolia. Of the 409 isoniazid-resistant isolates detected by the GenoType MTBDRplus assay, 127 (31.1%) were resistant to rifampin, 294 (71.9%) had inhA mutations without katG mutations, 113 (27.6%) had katG mutations without inhA mutations, and 2 (0.5%) had mutations in both the inhA and katG genes. Of the 115 strains with any katG mutation, 114 (99.1%) had mutations in codon 315 (S315T). Of the 296 strains with any inhA mutation, 290 (98.0%) had a C15T mutation. The proportions of isoniazid-resistant strains with katG mutations were 25.3% among new cases and 36.2% among retreatment cases (P = 0.03) and 17.0% among rifampin-susceptible strains and 52.8% among rifampin-resistant strains (P < 0.01). Rifampin resistance was significantly associated with the katG mutation (adjusted odds ratio, 5.36; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.3 to 8.67, P < 0.001). Mutations in inhA predominated in isoniazid-resistant tuberculosis in Mongolia. However, the proportion of katG mutations in isolates from previously treated cases was higher than in those from new cases, and the proportion in cases with rifampin resistance was higher than in cases without rifampin resistance.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: There is controversy regarding the relative influence of 'exogenous' versus 'endogenous' factors on the risk of progression from latent tuberculosis infection to active tuberculosis (TB) disease in children. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis to identify risk factors for active tuberculosis in QuantiFERON®-TB Gold (QFT-G)-positive children aged 6-13 years attending 18 schools in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Children underwent clinical and radiological screening for active tuberculosis, and data relating to potential risk factors for disease progression were collected by questionnaire and determination of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) concentrations. Risk ratios were calculated using generalized estimating equations with adjustment for potential confounders. RESULTS: 129/938 (13.8%) QFT-positive children were diagnosed with active tuberculosis. Risk of active tuberculosis was independently associated with household exposure to pulmonary TB (adjusted risk ratio [aRR] 2.40, 95% CI 1.74 to 3.30, P < 0.001), month of sampling (adjusted risk ratio [aRR] for March-May vs. June-November 3.31, 95% CI 1.63 to 6.74, P < 0.001; aRR for December-February vs. June-November 2.53, 95% CI 1.23 to 5.19, P = 0.01) and active smoking by the child (aRR 5.23, 95% CI 2.70 to 10.12, P < 0.001). No statistically significant independent association was seen for age, sex, socio-economic factors, presence of a Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) scar, tobacco exposure or vitamin D status. CONCLUSIONS: Household exposure to active TB, winter or spring season and active smoking were independently associated with risk of active tuberculosis in QFT-positive children. Our findings highlight the potentially high yield of screening child household contacts of infectious index cases for active tuberculosis in low- and middle-income countries.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Mongolia has high and rising rates of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Spatio-temporal and programmatic evidence suggests a major contribution from MDR-TB transmission, but genotypic evidence has not been assessed. METHODS: All MDR-TB cases identified during 2012 were examined. Demographic and bacteriological data were obtained from the National Tuberculosis Reference Laboratory. Isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from culture-confirmed category 1 treatment failures were genotyped using 24-loci mycobacterium interspersed repetitive unit (MIRU-24) analysis. RESULTS: Of the 210 MDR-TB cases identified, 115 (54.8%) were treatment failures (34.8% category 1; 20.0% category 2). Streptomycin resistance was present in 156 (74.3%) cases; including 55/73 (75.3%) category 1 treatment failures who had never been exposed to streptomycin. Among category 1 treatment failures, Beijing lineage strains predominated (88.0%; 59/67 of genotyped isolates). MIRU-24 clustering was documented in 62.7% (42/67) of strains; 55.2% (37/67) remained clustered when drug susceptibility test results were considered. In total 59.5% (25/42) of clustered strains were Beijing lineage and demonstrated in-vitro resistance to all first-line drugs tested. CONCLUSION: The MDR-TB epidemic in Mongolia appears to be driven by primary transmission of Beijing lineage strains resistant to all first-line drugs. Enhanced infection control strategies together with early MDR-TB case detection and appropriate treatment are necessary to limit escalation of the MDR-TB epidemic.
