Recent progress in the genotyping of bovine tuberculosis and its rapid diagnosis via nanoparticle-based electrochemical biosensors. RSC Adv 2023; 13:31795-31810. [PMID: 37908649 PMCID: PMC10613952 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra05606f] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is considered a worldwide infectious zoonotic disease. Mycobacterium bovis causes bTB disease. It is one of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) members. MTBC is a clonal complex of close relatives with approximately 99.95% similarity. M. bovis is a spillover pathogen that can transmit from animals to humans and rarely from humans to animals with contact. Genotyping techniques are important to discriminate and differentiate between MTBC species. Spoligotyping and mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat (MIRU-VNTR) are widely used but they have some limitations. As an alternative, whole genome sequencing approaches have been utilized due to their high-resolution power. They are employed in typing M. bovis and explain the evolutionary and phylogenetic relationships between isolates. The control of bTB disease has attracted a large amount of attention. Rapid and proper diagnosis is necessary for monitoring the disease as an initial step for its control and treatment. Nanotechnology has a potential impact on the rapid diagnosis and treatment of bTB through the use of nanocarrier and metal nanoparticles (NPs). Special attention has been paid to voltammetric and impedimetric electrochemical strategies as facile, sensitive, and selective methods for the efficient detection of tuberculosis. The efficacy of these sensors is enhanced in the presence of NPs, which act as recognition and/or redox probes. Gold, silver, copper, cobalt, graphene, and magnetic NPs, as well as polypyrrole nanowires and multiwalled carbon nanotubes have been employed for detecting tuberculosis. Overall, NP-based electrochemical sensors represent a promising tool for the diagnosis of bTB.

Abstract
To evaluate the genetic diversity and clustering rates of M. tuberculosis strains to better understand transmission among persons deprived of liberty (PDL) in Rio Grande do Sul (RS), southern Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study, including strains of M. tuberculosis isolated from PDL, stored at the Central Laboratory of RS, in the period from 2013 to 2018. The molecular characterization was performed using the MIRU-VNTR 15 loci method. A total of 598 M. tuberculosis strains were genotyped, and 37.5% were grouped into 53 clusters. Cluster sizes ranged from 2 to 34 strains. The largest cluster of the study had strains from 34 PDL, and 58.8% of the PDL of this cluster were in P01. Among the clusters formed, in 60.3%, there was at least one strain from P01. The most common strains in RS were LAM (53.2%) and Haarlem (31.1%). The LAM strain was the most likely to form clusters, and Haarlem was associated with anti-TB drug resistance. This was translational research, and the results can collaborate with the TB control programs, leading to improved strategies that allow the reduction of the TB burden in prisons.

Abstract
Molecular-typing can help in unraveling epidemiological scenarios and improvement for disease control strategies. A literature review of Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission in Brazil through genotyping on 56 studies published from 1996-2019 was performed. The clustering rate for mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units - variable tandem repeats (MIRU-VNTR) of 1,613 isolates were: 73%, 33% and 28% based on 12, 15 and 24-loci, respectively; while for RFLP-IS6110 were: 84% among prison population in Rio de Janeiro, 69% among multidrug-resistant isolates in Rio Grande do Sul, and 56.2% in general population in São Paulo. These findings could improve tuberculosis (TB) surveillance and set up a solid basis to build a database of Mycobacterium genomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) and remains a serious global public health threat, especially in resource-limited settings such as the African region. Recent developments in molecular epidemiology tools have significantly improved our understanding of TB transmission patterns and revealed the high genetic diversity of TB isolates across geographical entities in Africa. This study reports the results of a systematic review of current knowledge about MTBC strain diversity and geographical distribution in African regions. METHODS Search tools (PubMed, Embase, Popline, OVID and Africa Wide Information) were employed to identify the relevant literature about prevalence, strain diversity, and geographic distribution of MTBC infection in Africa. RESULTS A total of 59 articles from 739 citations met our inclusion criteria. Most articles reported about patients with presumptive pulmonary TB (73%), fewer reports were on retreatment and treatment failure cases (12%), and presumptive drug resistance cases (3%). Spoligotyping was the most used, alone in 21 studies and in parallel with either the Mycobacterial Interspersed Repetitive Units Variable Number of Tandem Repeats or the Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism. Various TB lineages were observed across the African continent, with the originally European lineage 4 spotted in all countries studied. CONCLUSION TB molecular epidemiology tools have substantially improved our understanding of the MTBC circulating isolates, their evolution, and diversity in this highly endemic region of Africa. We found that only TB lineage 4 is present throughout all the continent and the clusters identified provides an extended insight into the disease transmission dynamics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB) still remains endemic worldwide making epidemiological studies essential to mitigating efforts implicated in identifying its source, controlling, and preventing the spread of dangerous strains amongst humans such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). METHODS In this study, we sought to determine the 6 Mycobacterial Interspersed Repetitive Unit-Variable-Number Tandem Repeat (MIRU-VNTR) loci with high discriminatory powers for Mtb genotyping as well as the loci with the highest and the lowest discriminatory powers for MIRU-VNTR. To conduct our search, we used several databases such as science direct, Embase (Elsevier), Web of Science, Scopus and Medline via PubMed. Searches were performed using key words including: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, MIRU-VNTR, Allele diversity, Genetic diversity and human patient. Finally, 56 articles were selected after filtering out titles, abstracts and full texts. RESULTS Loci with high discriminatory powers included MIRU10 and MIRU26, while MIRU2, MIRU20, MIRU24 and ETRD had poor discriminatory powers. According to previous data in the literature, the loci MIRU10, MIRU26, MIRU40, QUB 26, QUB 11b and Mtub21 have high discriminatory powers. CONCLUSION Therefore, these loci recommended for genotyping Mtb to save time and cost and to ensure the production of reliable results.

Abstract
A drug resistance survey involving Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated from patients of a tertiary Hospital in the Rio de Janeiro city (RJ), Brazil, between the years 1996 and 1998 revealed a high frequency of isoniazid (HR) resistance. These isolates were revisited and genotyped. Patients came from different RJ neighborhoods and municipalities, and 70% were outpatients. Applying the 3’ and 5’ IS 6110 -RFLP and the Spoligotype genotyping methods, the clonal structure of this population was investigated obtaining a snapshot of past epidemiological events. The 3’ clusters were subsequently 5’ IS 6110 -RFLP typed. Spoligotyping was analyzed in the SITVIT2 database. Epidemiological relationships were investigated. The major lineage was T (54.4%), and SIT 53/T1 and SIT 535/T1 were the most frequent. The T1 sublineage comprises 12.8% of resistant strains and SIT 535 were assigned for 31.8% of them. Orphan patterns corresponded to 12% and 73.3% and belonged to the T lineage. One pattern was unlisted in the SITVIT2. The 5’ IS 6110 -RFLP did not confirm 3/12 of the 3’ IS 6110 -RFLP clusters. A combination of all methods decreased the number of clusters to three. Nosocomial transmission was associated with one cluster involving a hospital cupbearer. This event was suspected in a multidrug resistant-TB inpatient caregiver who harbored a mixed infection. The 3’ IS 6110 clusters were associated with HR (p=0.046). These genotypic retrospective data may reflect a fraction of more extensive recent transmission in different communities that may be corroborated by the concentration of HR patients, and may serve as a database for further evolutionary and characterization evaluation of circulating strains and together with epidemiological data favors a more effective transmission control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent decades, Mycobacterium tuberculosis with the RDRio genotype, frequently isolated from tuberculosis patients in Rio de Janeiro, has become part of the Latin American - Mediterranean (LAM) family and has been associated with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of M. tuberculosis RDRio in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, and its relationship with MDR-TB. METHODS For convenience, 172 susceptible and 63 MDR M. tuberculosis isolates were taken from pulmonary samples from patients diagnosed between January 2007 and December 2011. The DNA extracted from these isolates was analyzed by spoligotyping, PCR-RFLP to characterize fbpC103/Ag85C103, multiplex PCR to detect RDRio and RD174, and MIRU-VNTR 24 loci. RESULTS Among the 235 isolates, the RDRio pattern was identified in 122 (51.9%) isolates (IC 0.45-0.58), with 100 (42.5%) wild-type and 13 (5.5%) mixed pattern isolates, whereas RD174 was identified in 93 of the 122 RDRio positive samples (76.3%). The LAM family and the LAM9 lineage were the most frequently identified among the isolates in this study. Among the 63 MDR isolates, 41 (65.1%) were RDRio and 28 (44.4%) RD174. CONCLUSION The association of both deletions with MDR proved to be statistically significant, corroborating the few reports that have associated RDRio with MDR.

Abstract
Background The Latin American & Mediterranean (LAM) spoligotype family is one of the most successful genotype of Mycobacterium tuberculosis worldwide and particularly prevalent in South-America. Within this family, a sublineage named Region of Difference Rio (RDRio) was reported initially in Brazil and is characterized by a genomic deletion of about 26.3 kb. This lineage seems to show a specific adaptation to the Euro-Latin American population. In this context, we sought to evaluate the LAM family and the presence of the RDRio genotype in samples from three Latin American countries including Paraguay, Venezuela and Argentina. To detect LAM strains reliably we applied a typing scheme using spoligotyping, 12 loci MIRU-VNTR, the Ag85C103 SNP and the regions of difference RDRio and RD174. IS6110-RFLP results were also used when available. Results Genotyping of 413 M. tuberculosis isolates from three Latin-American countries detected LAM (46%) and the ill-defined T clade (16%) as the most frequent families. The highest clustering rate was detected in the sample population from the city of Caracas in Venezuela. We observed considerable differences in the presence of the RDRio lineage, with high frequency in Caracas-Venezuela (55%) and low frequency in Buenos Aires-Argentina (11%) and Paraguay (10%). The molecular markers (RD174, Ag85C103, MIRU02-MIRU40 signature) of the RDRio lineage were essentially confirmed. For the LAM family, the most polymorphic loci were MIRU40, MIRU31, MIRU10, MIRU26, MIRU16 and the least polymorphic MIRU24, MIRU20, MIRU04, MIRU23. Conclusions Our results suggest a differential adaptation of LAM-sublineages in neighboring populations and that RDRio strains spread regionally with different rates of distribution. The Ag85C SNP and RDs (RD174, RDRio) tested in this study can in fact facilitate molecular epidemiological studies of LAM strains in endemic settings and low-income countries.

Abstract
Tuberculosis is an infectious bacterial disease with a high mortality rate worldwide constituting a serious public health problem. The diagnostic methods commonly used by health professionals are slow and expensive and the results may take about sixty days which will cause a delay in administrating the most proper treatment to the patient, as well as increase health care costs and infection transmission possibility. Patients infected simultaneously with human immunodeficiency virus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis are a constant and worrying challenge for the scientific community which will research and develop new methods of diagnosis, new drugs and new therapies. Nowadays there are new tuberculosis diagnosis methods and some of which are already in clinical trial phases. These methods have high sensitivity, but do not replace the microbiological examination for isolation and culture of Mycobacterium spp. However, in clinical practice, microbiological, imaging, clinical and epidemiological data integration provide the best diagnosis and treatment possible. Consequently, throughout this paper, the different methods of diagnosis of human tuberculosis with its advantages and disadvantages will be covered, describing new omics and ultra-fast methods to increase knowledge and obtain a rapid diagnosis of tuberculosis.
