Summary. A total of 93 isolates from pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) patients in Kharkiv region were characterized by drug susceptibility testing and genotypic analyses (VNTR using five exact tandem repeat loci). Obtained data demonstrated that the Beijing genotype was the most common (in 64 cases) among studied strains. Twelve isolates had individual VNTR profile. Among all patients 41 (44%) were diagnosed as MDR TB and 52 (56%) — TB with extending resistance. The most common resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was observed to streptomycin. The frequency of resistance to kanamycin, 4-aminosalicylic acid and ethionamide was revealed significantly higher for LAM strain in compare to Beijing strain (p<0.05).
