Genetic Mutations of rpoB of Mycobacteria Resistance to Rifampin

Rifampin 내성 마이코박테리아의 rpoB 유전자 변이

RNA polymerase beta subunit gene (rpoB) mutation of rifampin-resistant Mycobacteria was analyzed using nucleotide sequence of rpoB DNA (351 bp) containing rifampin resistant region, $rif^r$. For this purpose, we collected rifampin-resistant Mycobacteria that were identified by conventional culture method from Masan National Hospital and The Korean Institute of Tuberculosis and performed analysis of nucleotide sequence of rpoB of them. We found various mutations of rpoB linked rifampin resistant gene from rifampin-resistant Mycobacteria. From this study, we identified mutations of different codons from codons that have been reported recently.

Rifampin 내성 마이코박테리아의 RNA polymerase beta subunit gene (rpoB)의 변이를 of Rifampin-resistant Mycobacteria was analyzed using nucleotide sequence of containing rifampin 내성유전자부위인 $rif^{rr}$을 포함한 rpoB DNA (351 bp)의 염기서열 분석을 이용하여 조사하였다. 본 연구를 위해 마산국립병원과 국립결핵원으로부터 전통적 배양방법으로 rifampin 내성 마이코박테리아를 수집하여 그것들의 rpoB 유전자를 염기서열 분석을 수행하였고 최근까지 보고된 것과는 다른 변이들을 확인할 수 있었다.
