Genotype characterization of 80 strains of Mycobacterium in Uruguay
Keywords:
MYCOBACTERIUM, MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS, MYCOBACTERIOSIS, GENOTYPEAbstract
Traditional methods to determine phenotype identification for mycobacterium are longer as compared with cellular procedures (4 to 6 weeks and 36 to 72 hours respectively).
In Uruguay, the incidence of tuberculosis Mycobacterium is low and data on pulmonary tuberculosis cases but caused by non-tuberculosis Mycobacterium (MNT) -normally saprophytes- is lacking.
From a therapeutic point of view, diagnosis based on an accurate identification of Mycobacterium infectant may be significant since treatment and management differ according to the strain found.
Two DNA molecular markers were chosen in our laboratory to diagnose Mycobacterium through genotype identification: IS6110 insertion element and ribosomal DNA sequences 16s (DNAr 16s) to determine specific identity within Mycobacterium.
Once selected molecular techniques were updated, we undertook a retrospective study of 80 isolates identified as Mycobacterium by phenotype methods. Most of the isolates (75/80) were tuberculosis Mycobacterium strains. The remained five were identified as MNT strains, of which three caused pulmonary infections.
