The study identified mutations in the gyrA and gyrB genes as the main mechanisms of GAT resistance. These findings provide new insights into molecular diagnosis of GAT resistance in the clinical setting.
Objectives: Gatifloxacin (GAT), a fourth-generation fluoroquinolone (FQ), is used to treat drug-resistant tuberculosis. Although DNA gyrase mutations are the leading cause of FQ resistance, mutations conferring resistance to GAT remain inadequately characterized. Methods: GAT-resistant mutants were selected from 7H10 agar plates containing 0.5 mg/L GAT (critical concentration). Mutations involved in GAT resistance were identified through whole-genome sequencing. Results: In total, 123 isolates demonstrated resistance to GAT. Among these isolates, 55.3% (68/123) had gyrA gene mutations [G280A (D94N), A281G (D94G), G280T (D94Y) and G262T (G88C)]. The remainder (4 4.7%, 55/123) harboured gyrB gene mutations [A14 95G (N4 99D), C14 97A (N4 99K), C14 97G (N4 99K) and A1503C (E501D)]. Conclusions: Mutations in the gyrA and gyrB genes are the main mechanisms of GAT resistance. These findings provide new insight into GAT resistance, and contribute to molecular diagnosis of GAT resistance in the clinical setting. (c) 2021 The Author(s).
