Objective: To explore the molecular and epidemic characteristics of rifampin (RFP) and isoniazid (INH) resistance of mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in Sichuan.
Methods: GenoType reg; MTBDRplus Assay GTplus was used to examine 68 clinical isolates of MTB and 105 clinical specimens for mutations in rpoB, katG and inhA genes related to RFP and INH resistance.
Results: Of the 151 valid tests obtained, 44 (29.14%) and 26 (17.22%) showed drug resistance and multidrug resistance, respectively. Resistance to RFP and INH was found in 21.85% (33/151) and 24.50% (37/151) of the samples, respectively. The most prevalent mutations were rpoB S531L, katG S315T1 and inhA C-15T. The multidrug resistance rate in the sputum specimens was significantly higher than that in the non-respiratory samples (19.35% vs 7.41%).
Conclusion: Drug-resistant, especially multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is highly prevalent in Sichuan. The multidrug-resistant bacteria most frequently show rpoB S531L combined with katG S315T1 mutations, suggesting the necessity of developing rapid clinical identification methods for drug-resistant MTB to control the spread of the resistant strains.

Article Synopsis
- Truenat MTB Plus and MTB Ultima are WHO-approved tests for tuberculosis, but their performance data are limited, prompting a study in Cape Town, South Africa with 498 participants.
- The study compared the accuracy of these tests against the Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra using culture as the reference standard, revealing sensitivities of 84% for MTB Plus, 90% for Ultima, and 92% for Ultra, with varying specificities.
- While Ultima showed similar sensitivity to Ultra, both tests had significant rates of unsuccessful results and exhibited variability based on lot differences, indicating that improvements are needed in their reliability for TB detection.

Background: Few studies in routine settings have confirmed the high accuracy of the Xpert MTB/RIF assay for detecting rifampicin resistance (RR) and the first-line probe assay (FL-LPA) for detecting both RR and isoniazid resistance (INHR).
Methods: The performance of Xpert MTB/RIF and MTBDRplus VER 2.0 LPA was evaluated in 180 Mycobacterium tuberculosis samples collected from January 2018 to December 2019 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Background: Drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) poses a major global challenge to public health and therapeutics. It is an emerging global concern associated with increased morbidity and mortality mostly seen in the low- and middle-income countries. Molecular techniques are highly sensitive and offer timely and accurate results for TB drug resistance testing, thereby positively influencing patient management plan.

Background: Isoniazid-resistant, rifampin-susceptible tuberculosis (Hr-TB) is associated with poor treatment outcomes and higher rates of acquisition of further drug resistance during treatment. Due to a lack of widespread diagnostics, Hr-TB is frequently undetected and its epidemiology is incompletely understood.
Methods: We studied the molecular epidemiology of Hr-TB among all patients diagnosed with culture-positive pulmonary tuberculosis between January 1 and June 30, 2017, at an urban referral tuberculosis clinic in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
