Abstract:

Objective To analyze the drug resistance and risk factors of 218 isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in Xi'an. Methods A total of 218 isolates of MTB from 227 smear positive tuberculosis patients' sputum samples were collected in a surveillance point of Xi'an. The proportional method was used for the drug susceptibility test of 9 anti-tuberculosis drugs. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors. Results The overall drug resistance rate was 32.57% (29.03% for the initial treatment cases and 53.13% for the retreatment cases). The multi-drug resistance rate was 6.88%. The drug resistance rates to first-line and second-line anti-tuberculosis drugs were 25.69% and 15.14%,respectively. It showed the highest resistance to streptomycin (SM),followed by isoniazid (INH),rifampicin (RFP),ethambutol (EMB),ofloxacin (OFX),capreomycin (CM),p-aminosalicylic acid(PAS),kanamycin (KM) and protionamide (PTO). There were 29 types of drug resistance,including 6 cases of mono-drug resistance,3 cases of poly-drug resistance,7 cases of multi-drug resistance,11 cases of second-line drug resistance and 2 cases of other drug resistance. The drug resistance rate and multi-drug resistance rate in retreatment group were higher than those in initial treatment group [odds ratio (OR) =3.39,95% confidence interval(CI)1.49-7.70,χ2=8.52,P=0.004;OR=4.83,95%CI 1.53-15.25,χ2=7.21,P=0.01]. The multi-drug resistance rate in the group of annual family income less than 40 thousand was higher than that of corresponding control group (OR=3.96,95%CI 1.31-11.97,χ2=5.94,P=0.02). Conclusions The overall drug resistance rate and multi-drug resistance rate of pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Xi'an are lower than those of the whole nation. The drug resistant spectrum has polymorphism and complexity. The drug retreatment patients are more likely to have drug resistance and multi-drug resistance,and low family income patients are more likely to have multi-drug resistance.
