Resumo: | The Mycobacterium genus includes M. tuberculosis complex (CMTB) species and others called nontuberculous mycobacteria (MNT). The CMTB bacilli cause tuberculosis (TB), a bacterial infectious disease, which commonly affects the lungs. Since the MNT cause other mycobacterial infections. The correct diagnosis of diseases caused by mycobacteria is essential for determining treatment. The tuberculosis treatment regimen in Brazil is recommended by the National Tuberculosis Control/Ministry of Health (PNCT/MS) and was recently modified. The main changes proposed by the Technical Advisory Committee of PNCT/MS were: to introduce a fourth drug, ethambutol, during the attack and take the combination of drugs in tablet form, with fixed-dose combinations (FDC) 4 in 1, for intensive treatment phase, and 2 in 1 for the maintenance phase. Due to the high incidence of tuberculosis in Brazil and worldwide, the emergence of resistant strains and the deployment of new therapies by the Ministry of Health, this study aimed to evaluate the susceptibility to antituberculosis or individually associated clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from the University Hospital Mary. The antimicrobial susceptibility alone or associated (rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol) was evaluated using the microdilution method (MMC) and compared to the proportion method (MP), gold standard method for susceptibility to mycobacteria. The MMC has proven to be a rapid, easily performed and well correlated with the MP. We have found various clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis resistant to one, two or three drug when tested against four drugs alone. However, when they were tested against four drugs associated with the FDC no strain was considered resistant. This fact is against the concept of FDC which aims to unite the four anti-TB drugs to combat the resistance of the bacilli. |
