Abstract:
Abstract: Objective To investigate the type and distribution of drug resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in Hainan tuberculosis hospital from 2019 to 2021, and to provide reference for the development of drug resistant tuberculosis prevention and control strategy. Methods From 2019 to 2021, a total of 1 687 strains of sputum were isolated and cultured and identified as MTB. Drug sensitivity testing was performed on eight anti-tuberculosis drugs: isoniazid (INH), rifampicin (RFP, R), ethambutol (EMB), streptomycin (SM), kanamycin (KM), capreomycin (CPM), ofloxacin (OFX), and propylthioisoniacamide (PTO). The drug resistance analysis was conducted. Results Among the 1 687 MTB strains, the overall drug resistance rate was 41.32% (697), with a single drug resistance rate of 11.62% (196), a multi-drug resistance rate of 4.10% (69), a extensive drug resistance rate of 23.71% (400), a pan-drug resistance rate of 1.90% (32), and a rifampicin
resistance rate of 28.10% (474), and the main drug resistance types were extensive drug resistance and rifampicin resistance. The order of resistance to the eight drugs was OFX (64) > SM (62) > INH (48) > RFP (19) > CPM (2) > KM (1) > EMB (0) and PTO (0). The rate of resistance to INH and RFP of first-line drugs in newly treated patients was lower than that in retreated patients (χ2=0.110, 0.765; P>0.05); the rate of resistance to second-line drugs OFX, CPM and KM in initially treated patients was lower than that in retreated patients (χ2=1.037, 1.212, 1.653; P>0.05). The total drug resistance rate in 2019 was 51.16%, which was higher than that in 2020 (35.08%) and 2021 (38.89%). The difference between groups was significant (χ2=29.25,16.60; P=0.000), but there was no significant difference in overall drug resistance rate between 2020 and 2021 (χ2=1.823, P=0.177). Among the occupational types of tuberculosis patients, farmers were the main ones, accounting for 56.25% (949). The patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis were mainly distributed in Haikou City (165) > Wanning City (72) > Chengmai County(64) > Wenchang City (51) = Dongfang City (51) > Danzhou City (48), and patients in these six areas accounting for 64.71%(451/697). Conclusions The drug resistance rate of tuberculosis in Hainan Province is relatively high, with OFX and SM resistance being the main types of drug resistance. The extensive drug resistance rate is higher than the national average level. Therefore, surveillance and treatment should be strengthened and optimized to reduce the prevalence of drug-resistant tuberculosis.
