Streptomycin (STR)-resistant M. tuberculosis clinical isolates have been analyzed to look for mutations in the rpsL, rrs, and gidB genes. In addition, the Rv1258c gene, which encodes Tap, an efflux pump that transports STR, has been sequenced. Mutations affecting codons 43 and 88 of the rpsL gene were found in 44.4% of the strains, and 16.7% of the strains carried mutations in the rrs gene, both of which probably contribute to STR resistance. Many strains presented with mutations in the gidB gene, but the implication of those mutations in STR resistance remains unclear. Interestingly, a cytosine nucleotide insertion between positions 580 and 581 (denominated Tap580) in the Rv1258c gene has been found in all Beijing isolates included in this study, suggesting that it might be a novel polymorphism specific to the Beijing family of M. tuberculosis. A simple and fast restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)-PCR method for detecting the Tap580 insertion has been developed and used to screen a collection of 220 DNA samples obtained from cultures of M. tuberculosis isolates and 30 respiratory specimens. In all cases, the Beijing and non-Beijing representative samples were identified correctly. Tap580 is a novel polymorphism specific to the highly transmissible Beijing family, which allows for fast detection of these strains even at the very early stages of infection. 000060880 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/FPU-AP2008-04730$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/BIO2009-09405 000060880 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/es/ 000060880 590__ $$a4.232$$b2013 000060880 591__ $$aMICROBIOLOGY$$b23 / 118 = 0.195$$c2013$$dQ1$$eT1 000060880 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000060880 700__ $$aAristimuño, L. 000060880 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-4198-6622$$aVitoria, M.A.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000060880 700__ $$aPrat, C. 000060880 700__ $$aBlanco, S. 000060880 700__ $$aDe Viedma, D.G. 000060880 700__ $$aDomínguez, J. 000060880 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-3011-2519$$aSamper, S. 000060880 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-2076-844X$$aAínsa, J.A.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000060880 7102_ $$11008$$2630$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDepartamento de Microbiología, Medicina Preventiva y Salud Pública$$cMicrobiología 000060880 773__ $$g51, 7 (2013), 2124-2130$$pJ. clin. microbiol.$$tJOURNAL OF CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY$$x0095-1137 000060880 8564_ $$s496929$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/60880/files/texto_completo.pdf$$yVersión publicada 000060880 8564_ $$s134640$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/60880/files/texto_completo.jpg?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yVersión publicada 000060880 909CO $$ooai:zaguan.unizar.es:60880$$particulos$$pdriver 000060880 951__ $$a2017-05-03-14:22:48 000060880 980__ $$aARTICLE
