Risk factors of microbiological ineffectiveness of complex probiotic therapy against obligate intestinal microflora in patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis

Abstract

The aim of the work was to identify risk factors for the absence of a microbiological effect when using complex probiotic therapy in patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis.Material and methods. The object of the study was 30 patients with tuberculosis in the course of anti-tuberculosis therapy, who received a course of complex probiotic therapy. The patients were divided into groups according to the microbiological effect of using the probiotic against Bifido and Lactobacterium spp .: Group 1 – restoration of Lactobacterium spp. Happened, 2 – did not happen, 1A – recovery of Bifidobacterium spp. Happened, 1B did not happen. With the help of statistical processing of the material, the main risk factors for reducing its effectiveness have been identified.Research results. Among all factors (gender, social status, HIV infection, immunodeficiency, smoking, alcohol dependence, clinical form of tuberculosis and anti-tuberculosis drugs taken), the risk of reducing the efficiency of the Lactobacterium spp. in tuberculosis patients it is shown in males (OR 2.500, p = 0.029) over the age of 50 (p = 0.008). However, a significant decrease in the effectiveness of complex probiotic therapy to restore the pool of Lactobacterium spp. in the intestinal biotope is statistically significant due to the male sex (OR 8,000, p = 0.013 and the number of CD4 + lymphocytes (p = 0.005).Conclusion. The main risk factors for a decrease in the rate of recovery of the pool of Lactobacterium spp. in patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, the pathogen was male and female, and the recovery of the Bifidobacterium spp. depended on the male sex and the severity of immunodeficiency in the presence of HIV infection.
