Abstract:
Objective To study the species and drug resistance of Mycobacterium isolated from patients with spu-tum smear positive for acid-fast bacillus in Wuj iang city,and provide reference for the prevention and control of tu-berculosis. Methods Sputum specimens with positive smear were cultured,isolated bacteria were identified and performed drug susceptibility testing,drug resistance among different species of strains and between patients with initial and repeated treatment were compared.Results A total of 1 03 Mycobacterium isolates were included in the study,13 of which were nontuberculous Mycobacterium,drug resistance rate was 100.00% ,multidrug resistance (MDR)rate was 84.62% ;90 isolates were Mycobacteriumtuberculosis,81(90.00% )of which were Mycobacteri-umhominis. Drug resistance rate of Mycobacteriumtuberculosiswas 35.56% ,MDR rate was 14.44% . Of 70 ini-tially treated tuberculosis patients with positive sputum smear,14(20.00% )were resistant to drugs,MDR rate was 4.28% (3/70);Of 20 repeatedly treated tuberculosis patients with positive sputum smear,18(90.00% )were resist-ant to drugs,MDR rate was 50.00% (10/20).Conclusion Mycobacteriumtuberculosisis the major isolated strain from patients with positive sputum smear. Drug resistance and MDR rates of nontuberculous Mycobacterium are very high. Drug resistance and MDR rates of Mycobacteriumtuberculosisin repeatedly treated patients are higher than initially treated patients.
