Correlation of inhA mutations and ethionamide susceptibility: Experience from national reference center for tuberculosis
BACKGROUND: Detection of ethionamide (ETH) resistance is crucial as it is part of antitubercular regime. It is crucial to examine the role of inhA gene mutations as a surrogate marker for the detection of ETH resistance, in the Indian context. The present retrospective study was designed with this o...

description | BACKGROUND: Detection of ethionamide (ETH) resistance is crucial as it is part of antitubercular regime. It is crucial to examine the role of inhA gene mutations as a surrogate marker for the detection of ETH resistance, in the Indian context. The present retrospective study was designed with this objective. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The study was conducted in National Reference Laboratory within the tertiary care institute from January 1, 2018, to June 30, 2019, over 18 months duration. A total of 6612 sputum samples from presumptive multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) patients were received from four districts of Delhi, outdoor and inpatients. Line probe assay (LPA) was performed for smear-positive or culture-positive samples for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. All isolates found to be INH resistant by LPA were cultured and phenotypic susceptibility to ETH was conducted for selected isolates as per the guidelines. RESULTS: A total of 246 isolates were analyzed, for which phenotypic susceptibility to ETH and mutations in inhA were available. ETH resistance was detected among 87/108 (80.5%) isolates with inhA mutation. Sensitivity and specificity of inhA mutation for detection of ETH resistance were 80.5% and 83.8%, respectively. No inhA mutation was detected in 29/116 (25%) ETH-resistant isolates in our study, whereas ETH was found to be phenotypically susceptible in spite of the presence of inhA mutation among 21/130 (16.1%) isolates. CONCLUSIONS: Mutations in inhA gene in LPA predict ETH resistance with fairly good sensitivity and specificity. However, it is imperative to perform phenotypic detection of ETH resistance at proper concentration, in addition to detecting inhA mutation. |
