Gene mutations of drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Genotype MTBDRplus) * Mutation appearing among codons in the rpoB gene are associated with Jos while codons are associated with Lagos (Fisher’s exact test p<0.033) Genotype MTBDRplus pattern WT: missing MUT: present Codons analyzed by the Genotype MTBDRplus Number of isolates JosLagos rpoB*WT WT7 & MUT2AH526Y 1 WT7, MUT2BH526D 1 WT WT8, MUT3S531L 7 MUT3S531L 11 WT4 & WT8; MUT & ; D516V 1 katGWT, MUT1S315T1 24 inhAWT1, MUT1c −15 t 13 MUT1c −15 t 1 MUT2a −16 g 1
Conclusions High rates of transmission of drug-resistant TB among the population – Transmitted RIF resistance higher than predicted [5.84% > ( %)] – Geographically distinct mutations in the rpoB gene Prevalence much higher in Lagos than Jos – Dense urban area, tight living quarters, public transportation – National reference laboratory (could be referrals)
