Methods Four wild-type and 8 mutant probes were used to detect rifampin resistant strains. Target DNA of M. tuberculosis was amplified by PCR, hybridized and scanned. Direct sequencing was performed to verify the results of oligonucleotide microarray Results Of the 102 rifampin-resistant strains 98 （96.1%） had mutations in the rpoB genes. Conclusion Oligonucleotide microarray with mutation-specific probes is a reliable and useful tool for the rapid and accurate diagnosis of rifampin resistance in M. tuberculosis isolates.展开更多

文摘目的:分析气象因素对合肥市肺结核发病的影响,为制定肺结核控制策略提供依据。方法:从“中国疾病预防控制信息系统”收集2013—2022年合肥市肺结核周发病数,从合肥市气象局收集同期的气象数据,对二者进行Spearman相关性分析,采用R 4.3.0软件构建分布滞后非线性模型(distributed lag nonlinear model,DLNM),探讨气象因素和肺结核周病例数之间的暴露—滞后效应。结果:2013—2022年合肥市肺结核患者共报告发病41366例,报告发病率从2013年的63.2/10万(4742/7506266)下降至2022年的31.4/10万(2960/9424437),呈波动下降趋势(χ_(线性)^(2)=1622.439,P<0.001)。气温、相对湿度和风速对肺结核发病的影响分别呈现为“M”型、倒“N”型和近似“Z”型分布。气温在4.7℃时对肺结核发病的累积效应最高(CRR=2.261,95%CI:1.422~3.594),低温(P5=2.4℃)在滞后16周情况下肺结核发病风险最大;相对湿度在46.1%时对肺结核发病的累积效应最高(CRR=8.666,95%CI:5.452~13.773),低相对湿度(P_(1)=54.7%)在滞后0周时RR值最大,为1.073(95%CI:1.047~1.100),高相对湿度(P_(99)=93.0%)在滞后0~15周时为肺结核的保护因素;风速在1.2m/s时对肺结核发病的累积效应最高(CRR=1.563,95%CI:1.203~2.031),低风速(P_(1)=1.2m/s)在滞后16周时RR值最大,为1.042(95%CI:1.011~1.073),高风速(P_(99)=3.5m/s)在滞后0~13周时为肺结核的保护因素。结论:气象因素在肺结核发病中起重要作用,且具有非线性和滞后效应,低温、低相对湿度和低风速会增加肺结核发病的风险。
