    Abstract:
    The effective management of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and the need for rapid and accurate screening of rifampin (RIF) and isoniazid (INH)-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) isolates are the most fundamental and difficult challenges facing the global TB control. The present study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of high-resolution melting-curve analysis (HRMA) in comparison to multiplex allele-specific PCR (MAS-PCR) and xpert MTB/RIF as well as the conventional drug-susceptibility test (DST) and gene sequencing for the detection of INH and RIF resistance in the Mtb isolates. In the present study, a total of 431 Mtb isolates including 11 MDR (%2.55), 7 INH resistance (%1.62), two RIF resistance (%0.46), and 411 sensitive isolates were phenotypically confirmed. HRMA assay identified katG gene mutations and the mabA-inhA promoter region in 15 of 18 INH-resistant samples and rpoB gene mutations were successfully evaluated in 11 out of 13 RIF-resistant samples. The sensitivity and specificity of the HRMA method were 83.3% and 98.8% for INH and 84.6% and 99% for RIF, respectively. The most common mutation in RIF-resistance-determining region (RRDR) occurred at codon 531 (TCG → TTG)(84.6%) and then at codon 513 (CAA → GTA)(7.6%) and 526 (CAC → TAC) (7.6%), which resulted in the amino-acid changes. Also, 88.8% of INH-resistant samples had mutations in the katG gene and the mabA-inhA promoter region, of which the highest mutation occurred at codon 315 (AGC → ACC) of the katG gene. In conclusion, all these results indicated that the sensitivity and specificity of the HRM method were increased when the katG gene and the mabA-inhA promoter region were used as a target.
