GENOTYPING OF DRUG-RESISTANT CLINICAL ISOLATES OF M. TUBERCULOSIS IN KAZAKHSTAN
Tuberculosis, especially drug-resistant tuberculosis remains a major health problem in Kazakhstan. The incidence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in the country was increased by 8 times over 12 years from 1,7 to 13,5 per 100,000 population between 2003 and 2015. According to investigations in different countries Beijing M.tuberculosis family strains were associated with drug-resistance, specifically with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Aim of the study is to conduct genotyping of 192 drug-resistant clinical isolates of M.tuberculosis in Kazakhstan by spoligotyping technique and determine a correlation between drug resistance and Beijing M.tuberculosis genotype. Spoligotyping results demonstrated that Beijing genotype is the most widespread genotype among drug-resistant M. tuberculosis clinical isolates in Kazakhstan (74,48%). Determination of correlation between drug resistance and Beijing M.tuberculosis genotype showed that the genotype was found in more than 50% cases among polyresistant (70,9%) and multidrug resistant (87,75%) isolates.
