“…In our study, both susceptible and resistant, mainly MDR, M. tuberculosis strains were evaluated; unfortunately, only a limited number of strains resistant to second-line drugs were evaluated. We found the performance of the GenoType tests in Colombia to be similar to or even better than those described in studies elsewhere, like in Mexico, Brazil, Peru, Chile, Bolivia, France, Italy, Turkey, Spain, Vietnam, the Russian Federation, Ethiopia, and China (4,(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23). In general, sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and concordance with phenotypic DST support the utility of these tests for the screening of resistance to first-and second-line antituberculosis drugs in our country.…”

“…Specifically, the frequency of the katG MUT S315T1 in Latin America varied, with 52% in Mexico, 61.9% in Brazil, 71.2% in Peru, and 88% in Colombia (12)(13)(14). In comparison, the frequency in some countries on other continents was 65% in France, 66.5% in Italy, 73% in Turkey, 87% in Spain, 88% in Vietnam, 94% in the Russian Federation, and 94% in Ethiopia (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23).…”

“…This is noteworthy as mutations of these codons are rare compared to other mutation hotspots like codons 526 and 531 [29–32]. Even more astounding is the absence of the WT4 hybridization signal combined with the presence of both WT3 and WT5, observed in 2/5 strains, as all codons that are covered by WT4 are also covered by either WT3 or WT5.…”

“…For example, 52% INH-resistant TB isolates from Mexico [21], 69% of the isolates from Poland [22], 72% from Brazil [23], 100% from Kazakhstan [24], and 53% from the North of Mexico had KatG mutation [25]. In partial agreement with our results, Nusrath Unissa et al (2008) from India [26], Torres (2002) from Spain [27], and Ramaswamy (2004) from Mexico [28] reported KatG mutation in 64, 62 and 67% of isolates, respectively.…”
