Multidrug resistant Mycobacterium leprae from patients with leprosy.
Sequences of the folP1, rpoB, and gyrA genes were analyzed for 88 isolates of Mycobacterium leprae from leprosy patients in Japan, Haiti, Indonesia, Pakistan, and the Philippines. Thirteen isolates (14.8%) showed representative mutations in more than two genes, suggesting the emergence of multidrug-resistant M. leprae.
متن کاملGenetic diversity of mycobacterium leprae isolates from Brazilian leprosy patients.
INTRODUCTION Leprosy is a chronic disease caused by infection with Mycobacterium leprae, an obligate intracellular parasite. A problem in studying the transmission of leprosy is the small amount of variation in bacterial genomic DNA. The discovery of variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs) allowed the detection of strain variation in areas with a high prevalence of leprosy. Four genotypes of ...
متن کاملEmergence of primary drug resistance to rifampicin in Mycobacterium leprae strains from leprosy patients in India.
Although the prevalence of leprosy has significantly decreased since the introduction of theWorld Health Organization (WHO) regimen of multidrug therapy (MDT), the incidence remains high, with a report of approximately 215 656 cases globally in 2013. Among these, 126 913 cases were reported from India alone [1]. Of a total number of 3196 relapse cases, India alone contributed 486 cases [1]. For...
متن کاملDrug and multidrug resistance among Mycobacterium leprae isolates from Brazilian relapsed leprosy patients.
Skin biopsy samples from 145 relapse leprosy cases and from five different regions in Brazil were submitted for sequence analysis of part of the genes associated with Mycobacterium leprae drug resistance. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in these genes were observed in M. leprae from 4 out of 92 cases with positive amplification (4.3%) and included a case with a mutation in rpoB only, ano...
متن کاملDrug resistance patterns in Mycobacterium leprae isolates from relapsed leprosy patients attending The Leprosy Mission (TLM) Hospitals in India.
Implementation of multidrug therapy (MDT) in leprosy control programmes has significantly reduced the global prevalence of the disease in the last two decades. After many years of use of MDT, it is expected that drug resistance in Mycobacterium leprae may emerge. This is a major concern, especially during the stage of elimination. In the present study, slit-skin smears were collected from 140 l...
