Rapid diagnosis by molecular techniques can provide a more aggressive and appropriate initial therapy. This study aimed to analyze the molecular basis of resistance to isoniazid (INH) and rifampin (R) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains isolated from cases of human tuberculosis in Goiás and to genetically determine the causes of the observed resistances. Of the 4.607 cultures for mycobacteria processed in the period of September of 2005 and December of 2007, 24 isolates from 16 patients resistant to at least H and/or R were analyzed. We compared the results obtained by phenotypic tests with mutations in key genes responsible for the development of resistance to these drugs, the rpoB gene for isolates resistant to R and katG gene for strains resistant to H. Seventy one percent of the isolates were resistant to H, and the mutations involved with resistance observed in the katG gene were in codon 315 (41%). The most frequent mutations observed in the rpoB gene of the R resistant isolates (71%) were in codons 456 (76.5%) and 451 (17.6%). Our findings are similar to those reported in the literature. We conclude that the percentage of agreement between genotypic and phenotypic tests was 41% for H and 94% for R considering the number of isolates and 40% and 91%, respectively considering the number of patients. / A tuberculose multidroga resistente representa um desafio em escala mundial. O diagnóstico rápido através de técnicas moleculares é capaz de proporcionar uma terapêutica inicial mais agressiva e adequada. Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar as bases moleculares da resistência à isoniazida (H) e rifampicina (R) de cepas de Mycobacterium tuberculosis isoladas de casos de tuberculose em Goiás e determinar geneticamente as causas destas resistências. Do total de 4.607 culturas para micobactérias realizadas no período de setembro 2005 a dezembro de 2007, foram analisados 24 isolados de 16 pacientes resistentes a H e/ou R. Os resultados obtidos dos testes fenotípicos de sensibilidade aos antimicrobianos foram comparados às mutações observadas nos principais genes responsáveis pelo desenvolvimento de resistência a estas drogas, gene rpoB para isolados resistentes à R e gene katG para os isolados resistentes à H. Dentre os 24 isolados, 71% eram fenotípicamente resistentes a H e as únicas mutações envolvidas com resistência foram observadas no códon 315 (41%). Dos isolados resistentes a R (71%), foram observadas mutações nos códons 456 (76,5%), 451 (17,6%) e 447 (5,9%). Nossos achados estão em concordância com as principais mutações observadas nos isolados resistentes a R e/ou H descritos na literatura. O percentual de concordância entre os testes fenotípicos e genotípicos foi de 41% para H e 94% para R considerando o número de isolados e de 40% e 91% respectivamente considerando-se o número de pacientes.
