Capreomycin is a key antimycobacterial drug in treatment of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB). Drug susceptibility testing (DST) for capreomycin is not routinely performed in newly diagnosed XDR-TB in South Africa. We performed this study to assess the prevalence, clinical significance, and molecular epidemiology of capreomycin resistance in newly diagnosed XDR-TB patients in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Retrospective cohort study of consecutive XDR-TB patients admitted to a TB referral hospital without prior XDR-TB treatment. A subset of isolates had extended DST (including capreomycin), mutational analysis and IS6110 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) assays. 216 eligible XDR-TB patients were identified. The majority were treated with capreomycin (72%), were young (median age 35.5) and female (56%). 165 (76%) were HIV+, and 109 (66%) were on antiretroviral therapy. A subset of 52 patients had full DST. 47/52 (90.4%) XDR-TB patients were capreomycin resistant. Capreomycin-resistant patients experienced worse mortality and culture conversion than capreomycin susceptible though this difference was not statistically significant. The A1401G mutation in the rrs gene was associated with capreomycin resistance. The majority of capreomycin resistant strains were F15/LAM4/KZN lineage (80%), and clustering was common in these isolates (92.5%). Capreomycin resistance is common in patients with XDR-TB in KwaZulu-Natal, is predominantly due to ongoing province-wide transmission of a highly resistant strain, and is associated with high mortality. Capreomycin should be included in routine DST in all XDR-TB patients. New drug regimens that do not include injectable agents should be operationally tested as empiric treatment in XDR-TB.
