北京地区结核分枝杆菌基因分型及与耐药性关系的研究

北京地区结核分枝杆菌基因分型及与耐药性关系的研究摘要：本研究旨在探讨北京地区结核分枝杆菌的基因分型及其与耐药性的关系。通过对1053名患者的结核分枝杆菌进行分离、培养和基因分型，利用Sanger测序技术对其基因进行测序分析。同时对不同基因型之间的耐药性进行比较，并探讨其可能的机制。研究结果显示，北京地区结核分枝杆菌主要为北京型（54.2%）和非北京型（45.8%）。其中，对利福平和异烟肼的耐药率均较高，分别为25.7%和34.1%。基因型分析结果显示，非北京型结核分枝杆菌中多发现热带亚型和拉丁美洲亚型，而北京型结核分枝杆菌则呈现出较多的异型基因型。耐药性研究结果显示，归属于北京型结核分枝杆菌的耐药基因与其异型基因耐药基因相比较，存在一定程度的差异。本研究结果可为北京地区结核防治提供一定的参考依据。
