Circulating strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis : 24 loci MIRU-VNTR analysis in Bangladesh

Bangladesh is among the high burden countries for tuberculosis (TB) and multidrug resistant TB (MDR-TB). As the genetic diversity and distinct phylogeographic distribution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis are responsible for regional differences in drug resistance, this cross sectional study was conducted to identify the circulating M. tuberculosis strains belonging to different lineages among pulmonary tuberculosis and, to investigate the contribution of distinct M. tuberculosis lineages to rifampicin resistant (RR) and rifampicin sensitive (RS) TB. A total of 40 RR and 20 RS isolates were enrolled in this study, all of which confirmed as M. tuberculosis by MPT 64 antigen detection. Furthermore, all isolates were genotyped by 24 loci Mycobacterial Interspersed Repetitive Units-Variable Number of Tandem Repeats (MIRU-VNTR), thus comprising the first study to employ this approach in Bangladesh. Beijing was the predominant lineage (26.8%) followed by EAI (23.2%), Delhi/CAS (16.1%), H37Rv (8.9%), Haarlem (7.1%), LAM (5.4%), Cameroon (3.6%) and a NEW-1 (1.8%). Four (7.1%) isolates remained as unidentified. Beijing strains were the significantly predominant (36.8%; p = 0.0135) among the RR isolates in comparison with other strains whereas EAI was the predominant (38.8%) lineage among RS isolates. Also, approximately 13% RR isolates showed genotypic resistance against fluoroquinolones by LPA and, hence, classed as pre-XDR TB albeit no specific lineage was found associated with these latter strains. A low transmission rate (10.5%) and high genetic diversity was detected in this setting with all the clustered strains herein identified belonging to the Beijing lineage. This study highlights 24 loci MIRU-VNTR analysis as a powerful tool for genotyping of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in this setting as it shows a high discriminatory index (0.81).
