Abstract:

Objective: To analyze the drug resistance of clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in Gansu Provincial Infectious Diseases Hospital from 2022 to 2024, so as to provide scientific basis for precise prevention, control and treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis in Gansu Province. Methods: A total of 2941 clinical isolates of MTB cultured and identified from sputum or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in Gansu Provincial Infectious Disease Hospital from 2022 to 2024 were selected. The results of drug sensitivity tests on 9 anti-tuberculosis drugs, including isoniazid (INH), rifampicin (RFP), ethambutol (EMB), levofloxacin (Lfx), propiconazole (Pto), sodium aminosalicylate (PAS), moxifloxacin (Mfx), capreomycin (Cm), and amikacin (Am), were collected and analyzed. Results: Among 2941 clinical isolates of MTB, drug sensitive strains accounted for 62.39% (1835/2941) and drug-resistant strains accounted for 37.61% (1106/2941). The single drug resistance rate of the strain was 7.14% (210/2941), the poly-drug resistance rate was 12.58% (370/2941), the multi-drug resistance rate was 11.39% (335/2941), and the extensive-drug resistance rate was 6.49% (191/2941). The resistance sequence of the 9 anti-tuberculosis drugs as follows: INH (28.66%, 843/2941), RFP (20.50%, 603/2941), Lfx (10.34%, 304/2941), Mfx (9.49%, 279/2941), EMB (8.06%, 237/2941), PAS (1.73%, 51/2941), Pto (1.67%, 49/2941), Cm (0.92%, 27/2941), Am (0.78%, 23/2941). There were a total of 71 drug resistance spectra, including 8 single drug resistance spectra, 26 poly-drug resistance spectra, 15 multi-drug resistance spectra, and 22 extensive-drug resistance spectra. Conclusion: The clinical isolates of MTB from tuberculosis patients in Gansu Provincial Infectious Diseases Hospital have a high resistance rate, mainly poly-drug resistance and multi-drug resistance. The resistance spectrum presents complexity and diversity, and drug resistance screening of tuberculosis patients should be emphasized, and monitoring of drug-resistant patients should be strengthened.
