Abstract

Abstract Objectives This study aimed to measure the prevalence of resistance to antimicrobial agents, and explore the risk factors associated with drug resistance by using nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) isolates from China. Methods A total of 335 NTM isolates were included in our analysis. Broth dilution method was used to determine in vitro drug susceptibility of NTM isolates. Results Clarithromycin (CLA) was the most potent drug for Mycobacterium intracellulare (MI). The resistance rate of 244 MI isolates to CLA was 21%, yielding a minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC)50 and MIC90 of 8 and 64 mg/L, respectively. 51% of 244 MI isolates exhibited resistance to amikacin (AMK). For 91 Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABC) isolates, 6 (7%) and 49 (54%) isolates were categorized as resistant to CLA at day 3 and 14, respectively. The resistance rate to CLA for Mycobacterium abscessus subspecies abscessus (MAA) was dramatically higher than that for Mycobacterium abscessus subspecies massiliense (MAM). Additionally, the percentage of patients presenting fever in the CLA-susceptible group was significantly higher than that in the CLA-resistant group. Conclusions Our data demonstrate that approximate one fifth of MI isolates are resistant to CLA. We have identified a higher proportion of CLA-resistant MAA isolates than MAM. The patients caused by CLA-resistant MI are at low risk for presenting with fever relative to CLA-susceptible group.
