Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the leading causes of death and Bangladesh ranks 7th among the highest TB burden countries. Though molecular epidemiological data for pulmonary TB (PTB) have previously been described in Bangladesh, data on the molecular characterization and clinical association with different lineages among extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) is lacking. The aim of the study was to investigate the molecular characterization and lineage distribution of M. tuberculosis isolates obtained from patients with EPTB in Bangladesh. Between November 2015 and March 2017, a total of 1,340 EPTB specimens including lymph node, pus, tissue, ascitic fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, pleural fluid, abscess wall, urine etc. were collected from four tertiary care hospitals in Dhaka city, Bangladesh. Among the specimens, 141 were found positive on solid culture. Molecular characterization of the 141 isolates was done by deletion analysis, spoligotyping and Mycobacterial Interspersed Repetitive Unit-Variable Number Tandem Repeats (MIRU-VNTR) analysis. Among the 141 isolates, 80 (56.7%) were found as 'modern' and the remaining 61 (43.3%) were 'ancestral' type. Spoligotyping results revealed 91 distinct patterns of which 74 isolates were unique and the remaining 67 were divided into 17 distinct clusters. East African- Indian (EAI) lineage was the most predominant, comprising 26 (18.4%) isolates, followed by the Beijing lineage (14.2%). 15-loci MIRU-VNTR analysis revealed that 132 isolates (93.5%) had unique patterns, whereas only 9 (6.5%) isolates were grouped into 4 distinct clusters. In conclusion, the study findings provide a first insight into genetic diversity of EPTB isolates in Bangladesh. The present study demonstrated that 'modern' strains were more prevalent among the EPTB cases, while EAI lineages were predominantly circulating in this region.
