Extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) is a deadly form of TB that can be incurable due to its extreme drug resistance. In this study, we aimed to explore thein vitro susceptibility to bedaquiline (BDQ), delamanid (DMD), linezolid (LZD), clofazimine (CLO), moxifloxacin (MFX), and gatifloxacin (GAT) of 90 XDR-TB strains isolated from patients in China. We also describe the genetic characteristics of XDR-TB isolates with acquired drug resistance. Resistance to MFX, GAT, LZD, CLO, DMD, and BDQ was found in 82 (91.1%), 76 (84.4%), 5 (5.6%), 5 (5.6%), 4 (4.4%), and 3 (3.3%) isolates among the XDR-TB strains, respectively. The most frequent mutations conferring fluoroquinolone resistance occurred in codon 94 of thegyrA gene (57.8%), and the strains with these mutations (69.2%) were associated with high-level MFX resistance compared to strains with mutations in codon 90 (25.0%) (P &lt; 0.01). All 5 CLO-resistant isolates exhibited ≥4-fold upward shifts in the BDQ MIC, which were attributed to mutations of codons 53 (60.0%) and 157 (20.0%) in the Rv0678 gene. Additionally, mutation in codon 318 of thefbiC gene was identified as the sole mutation related to DMD resistance. In conclusion, our data demonstrate that the XDR-TB strains exhibit a strikingly high proportion of resistance to the current anti-TB drugs, whereas BDQ, DMD, LZD, and CLO exhibit excellentin vitro activity against XDR-TB in the National Clinical Center on TB of China. The extensive cross-resistance between OFX and later-generation fluoroquinolones indicates that MFX and GAT may have difficulty in producing the desired effect for XDR-TB patients.
