Capture and visualization of live Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli from tuberculosis bioaerosols
Abstract The tuberculosis (TB) pandemic demands urgent interventions such as those designed to interrupt Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) transmission, a challenge exacerbated by our poor understanding of the events enabling successful transfer of infectious bacilli between hosts. To address this problem, we developed the Respiratory Aerosol Sampling Chamber (RASC), a personal clean-room equipped with high-efficiency filtration and sampling technologies that allow biosafe capture and isolation of particulate matter – including Mtb bacilli – released by patients during natural breathing and (non-induced) cough. Here, we demonstrate the use of DMN-trehalose labelling to detect and quantify live Mtb bacilli among complex bioaerosol samples arrayed in a bespoke nanowell device following capture in the RASC. A pilot study identified Mtb in more than 85 % of known TB patients, improving significantly on previous work which has relied on animal infection and cough sampling to estimate transmission events. Moreover, intra-patient comparisons of bioaerosol and sputum samples indicated that Mtb aerosols likely derive from a compartment other than sputum. These results support the utility of the RASC platform for research aimed at interrupting Mtb transmission, including the non-invasive detection of Mtb-infected individuals who are predicted to contribute to bacillary spread despite the absence of clinical symptoms..
