Introduction:

Drug-resistant TB

o 10.4 million new TB cases globally (WHO, 2016)

o Approximately half a million are DR-TB

o DR-TB treatment

o Drug susceptibility testing (DST): expensive and requires infrastructure

o Second-line drugs: more expensive and toxic

o Cure rates low

o Novel and repurposed drugs used in various regimens

o FOCUS: bedaquiline (BDQ), clofazimine (CFZ) and linezolid (LZD)

Problem Statement

o Resistance to novel drugs is a constant threat

o Drugs are being used at a limited scale

oRegimens including BDQ, CFZ or LZD are still in clinical trials

o Information around genetic basis of resistance in vivo: lack complete picture

particularly for BDQ and CFZ

Aim

To evaluate two approaches for generation or

selection of in vitro mutants to BDQ, CFZ and LZD

and to identify resistance associated variants

(RAVs) for each drug

Discussion

o RAVs correspond with:

oPreviously described RAVs for in vitro mutants (BDQ and CFZ)

oPreviously described RAVs for in vitro mutants and clinically resistant isolates (LZD)

oSerial passaging method mimics in vivo situation (drug penetration to

granulomas)

o number of passages can be altered to reflect the development of low level resistance

Limitations

o Number of strains limited for the selection and analysis of spontaneous

mutants

o Laborious and costly

o Cost of sequencing all mutants prohibitive

o PZAR strain in vitro: faster onset of resistance to these three drugs

oComplete the work for various resistance profiles

Conclusion

Identification of RAVs useful for:

o Learning about the development of drug resistance in vitro

o e.g. efflux pumps vs targeted mutations

o Understanding drug targets and pathways

o Determining hotspots:

o Designing molecular diagnostics

o Regimen design

o Surveillance of drug resistance:

o Informing DST

Future perspectives

o Perform cross-resistance studies on BDQ and CFZ mutants

o Clinical sample set

o Low passage

o Varying resistance profiles and lineages

o Use the serial passaging approach

o Only use BDQ and CFZ
