Abstract:

Objective To investigate the situation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug resistance in the tuberculosis drug resistance monitoring sites in Chongqing Municipality and provide reference for formulating future TB control policy. Methods The information of 935 tuberculosis patients from the two surveillance sites (Fengdu county and Fengjie County) of Chongqing from 2014 to 2019 were collected. Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates from those patients were tested for drug resistance of isoniazid (INH), rifampicin (RFP), streptomycin (Sm), ethambutol (EMB),ofloxacin (Ofx) and kanamycin (Km). Results Among 953 Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates, 797 strains (83.63%) were isolated from newly treated patients and 156 (16.37%) were from re-treated patients. Drug resistance rate among new and retreated patients were 13.30% (106/797) and 24.36% (38/156) respectively, and the total drug resistance rate was 15.11% (144/953).The drug resistance rates of INH, RFP and Sm in re-treated patients from 2014 to 2019 were 13.46% (21/156), 9.62% (15/156) and 12.18% (19/156), respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the new patients (6.65% (53/797), 3.51% (28/797) and 6.90% (55/797)), with statistical significance (χ 2=8.452,P=0.004;χ2=11.276,P=0.001;χ2=5.076,P=0.024). Conclusion The drug resistance rate of the retreated patients was higher than that of the newly treated patients in Chongqing tuberculosis drug resistance surveillance sites, and the drug resistance was controlled to a certain level after the implementation of “trinity of tuberculosis care provider” in tuberculosis management.
