Resistance to second-line drugs in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is caused by mutations in resistance-associated proteins that participate in the mechanism of action and resistance to these drugs, mainly involving second-line injectables and fluoroquinolones. In order to find out if the distribution of mutations in resistance to second-line drugs in Peru follows a pattern similar to that reported globally, the distribution of resistance-associated mutations found in Perú was compared with that reported in the rest of the world. Specialized databases were used to collect mutations of clinical isolates resistant to second-line drugs. Distribution of unique mutations from Peru and the rest of the world were compared using the signed-rank test and hotspots regions were identified in the sequence and structure of the encoded protein. Our results reveal that the distributions unique mutations in GyrA in fluoroquinolone-resistant strains were similar between Peru and the rest of the world and clustered in a main hotspot region located at the active site and, to a lesser extent, in other functional regions. It is suggested that the pharmacological selection pressure of fluoroquinolones has generated a conserved pattern of GyrA mutations, at a global level, responsible for resistance. In addition, a possible pharmacological selection pressure was found in TlyA and ThyA. These findings could contribute to the diagnosis of resistance to second-line drugs in M. tuberculosis, as well as to the development of new anti-tuberculosis drugs.
