Lesion Heterogeneity Coincides With Long-Term Heteroresistance in MDR-TB.
Journal of Infectious Diseases 2021 January 13
Tuberculosis (TB) heteroresistance, in which only a fraction of the bacteria in a TB patient contains drug-resistant mutations, has been a rising concern. However, its origins and prevalence remain elusive. Here, whole-genome sequencing was performed on 83 serial isolates from 31 MDR-TB patients and heteroresistance was detected in isolates from 21 (67.74%) patients. Heteroresistance persisted in the host for long periods, spanning months to years, and was associated with having multiple tubercular lesions. Our findings indicate that heteroresistance is common and persistent in MDR-TB patients and may affect the success of their treatment regimens.
