Abstract
Background Tuberculosis (TB), mainly caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), remains a serious public health problem. Increasing evidence supports that selective evolution is an important force affecting genomic determinants of Mtb phenotypes. It is necessary to further understand the Mtb selective evolution and identify the positively selected genes that probably drive the phenotype of Mtb. Methods This study mainly focused on the positive selection of 807 Mtb strains from Southern Xinjiang of China using whole genome sequencing (WGS). PAML software was used for identifying the genes and sites under positive selection in 807 Mtb strains. Results Lineage 2 (62.70%) strains were the dominant strains in this area, followed by lineage 3 (19.45%) and lineage 4 (17.84%) strains. There were 239 codons in 47 genes under positive selection, and the genes were majorly associated with the functions of transcription, defense mechanisms, and cell wall/membrane/envelope biogenesis. There were 28 codons (43 mutations) in eight genes (gyrA, rpoB, rpoC, katG, pncA, embB, gid, and cut1) under positive selection in multi-drug resistance (MDR) strains but not in drug-susceptible (DS) strains, in which 27 mutations were drug-resistant loci, 9 mutations were non-drug-resistant loci but were in drug-resistant genes, 2 mutations were compensatory mutations, and 5 mutations were in unknown drug-resistant gene of cut1. There was a codon in Rv0336 under positive selection in L3 strains but not in L2 and L4 strains. The epitopes of T and B cells were both hyper-conserved, particularly in the T-cell epitopes. Conclusion This study revealed the ongoing selective evolution of Mtb. We found some special genes and sites under positive selection which may contribute to the advantage of MDR and L3 strains. It is necessary to further study these mutations to understand their impact on phenotypes for providing more useful information to develop new TB interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the application value of nucleotide matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) technology in the rapid diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and its drug resistance. METHODS From February 2021 to January 2022, respiratory specimens from 214 suspected PTB patients at the First Hospital of Quanzhou were collected. Nucleotide MALDI-TOF-MS and BACTEC MGIT 960 culture methods were used for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and drug resistance to anti-tuberculosis drugs. RESULTS Compared with culture method, nucleotide MALDI-TOF-MS technology had a sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 92.2%, 74.1%, and 82.7%, respectively, for the detection of MTB in respiratory specimens. With clinical diagnosis as the reference standard, the sensitivity and accuracy of nucleotide MALDI-TOF-MS were 82.5% and 86.0%, respectively, which were higher than those of the culture method (69.2% and 78.0%, respectively). The specificity of nucleotide MALDI-TOF-MS was 93.0%, which was slightly lower than that of culture method (95.8%). As for drug resistance, the results of nucleotide MALDI-TOF-MS exhibited good consistence with culture methods for rifampin, isoniazid, ethambutol, and streptomycin. CONCLUSION Nucleotide MALDI-TOF-MS detection has a good clinical performance for rapid detection of MTB and drug sensitivity to rifampin, isoniazid, ethambutol, and streptomycin directly on respiratory specimens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis is a bacterial infectious disease, which affects different parts of a human body, mainly lungs and can lead to the patient's death. The aim of this study is to investigate the global prevalence of drug-resistant tuberculosis using a systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS In this study, the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar repositories were systematically searched to find studies reporting the global prevalence of drug-resistant tuberculosis. The search did not entail a lower time limit, and articles published up until August 2022 were considered. Random effects model was used to perform the analysis. The heterogeneity of the studies was examined with the I2 test. Data analysis was conducted within the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software. RESULTS In the review of 148 studies with a sample size of 318,430 people, the I2 index showed high heterogeneity (I2 = 99.6), and accordingly random effects method was used to analyze the results. Publication bias was also examined using the Begg and Mazumdar correlation test which indicated the existence of publication bias in the studies (P = 0.008). According to our meta-analysis, the global pooled prevalence of multi-drug resistant TB is 11.6% (95% CI: 9.1-14.5%). CONCLUSIONS The global prevalence of drug-resistant tuberculosis was found to be very high, thus health authorities should consider ways to control and manage the disease to prevent a wider spread of tuberculosis and potentially subsequent deaths.

Abstract
Background In the last decades, the molecular epidemiological investigation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has significantly increased our understanding of tuberculosis epidemiology. However, few such studies have been done in southern Xinjiang, China. We aimed to clarify the molecular epidemic characteristics and their association with drug resistance in the M. tuberculosis isolates circulating in this area. Methods A total of 347 isolates obtained from southern Xinjiang, China between Sep, 2017 and Sep, 2019 were included to characterize using a 15-locus MIRU-VNTR (VNTR-15China) typing and spoligotyping, and test for drug susceptibility profiles. Then the lineages and clustering of the isolates were analyzed, as well as their association with drug resistance. Results Spoligotyping results showed that 60 spoligotype international types (SITs) containing 35 predefined SITs and 25 Orphan or New patterns, and 12 definite genotypes were found, and the top three prevalent genotypes were Beijing genotype (207, 59.7%), followed by CAS1-Delhi (46, 13.6%), and Ural-2 (30, 8.6%). The prevalence of Beijing genotype infection in the younger age group (≤30) was more frequent than the two older groups (30~59 and ≥60 years old, both P values <0.05). The Beijing genotype showed significantly higher prevalence of resistance to isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, multi-drug or at least one drug than the non-Beijing genotype (All P values ≤0.05). The estimated proportion of tuberculosis cases due to transmission was 18.4% according to the cluster rate acquired by VNTR-15China typing, and the Beijing genotype was the risk factor for the clustering (OR 9.15, 95% CI: 4.18-20.05). Conclusion Our data demonstrated that the Beijing genotype is the dominant lineage, associated with drug resistance, and was more likely to infect young people and contributed to tuberculosis transmission in southern Xinjiang, China. These findings will contribute to a better understanding of tuberculosis epidemiology in this area.

Abstract
Objective: The Beijing strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is controversially presented as the predominant genotype and is more drug resistant to rifampicin and isoniazid compared to the non-Beijing strain. We aimed to compare the major gene mutations related to rifampicin and isoniazid drug resistance between Beijing and non-Beijing genotypes, and to extract the best evidence using the evidence-based methods for improving the service of TB control programs based on genetics of MTB. Method: Literature was searched in Google Scholar, PubMed and CNKI Database. Data analysis was conducted in R software. The conventional and Bayesian random-effects models were employed for meta-analysis, combining the examinations of publication bias and sensitivity. Results: Of the 8785 strains in the pooled studies, 5225 were identified as Beijing strains and 3560 as non-Beijing strains. The maximum and minimum strain sizes were 876 and 55, respectively. The mutations prevalence of rpoB, katG, inhA and oxyR-ahpC in Beijing strains was 52.40% (2738/5225), 57.88% (2781/4805), 12.75% (454/3562) and 6.26% (108/1724), respectively, and that in non-Beijing strains was 26.12% (930/3560), 28.65% (834/2911), 10.67% (157/1472) and 7.21% (33/458), separately. The pooled posterior value of OR for the mutations of rpoB was 2.72 ((95% confidence interval (CI): 1.90, 3.94) times higher in Beijing than in non-Beijing strains. That value for katG was 3.22 (95% CI: 2.12, 4.90) times. The estimate for inhA was 1.41 (95% CI: 0.97, 2.08) times higher in the non-Beijing than in Beijing strains. That for oxyR-ahpC was 1.46 (95% CI: 0.87, 2.48) times. The principal patterns of the variants for the mutations of the four genes were rpoB S531L, katG S315T, inhA-15C > T and oxyR-ahpC intergenic region. Conclusion: The mutations in rpoB and katG genes in Beijing are significantly more common than that in non-Beijing strains of MTB. We do not have sufficient evidence to support that the prevalence of mutations of inhA and oxyR-ahpC is higher in non-Beijing than in Beijing strains, which provides a reference basis for clinical medication selection.

Abstract
Background Tuberculosis (TB) seriously threatens individual and public health. Recently, TB outbreaks in schools have been reported more frequently in China and have attracted widespread attention. We reported three TB outbreaks in high schools in Hunan Province, China. Methods When a tuberculosis patient was reported in a school, we carried out field epidemiological investigations, including tuberculin skin testing (TST), chest X-ray (CXR) and laboratory test for all close contacts, and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analyses to understand the transmission patterns, the causes and the risk factors for the outbreaks, thereby providing a foundation for the control of TB epidemics in schools. Results A total of 49 students with TB patients were identified in the three schools where TB outbreaks occurred, including nine patients in School A, 14 patients in School B, and 26 patients in School C. In Schools A, B and C, the putative attack rates in the classes of the index case were 13.8% (8/58), 7.6% (5/66), and 40.4% (21/52), while the putative attack rates of expanding screening in the school were 0.3% (1/361), 0.2% (9/3955), and 0.2% (5/2080), respectively. Thirteen patients had patient delay, with a median delay interval of 69 days (IQR 30.5–113 days). Twelve patients had a healthcare diagnostic delay with a median delay interval of 32 days (IQR 24–82 days). Phylogenetic analysis of culture-positive patients revealed that most of them shared a small genetic distance (≤12 SNPs), with three separate genetic clusters (including one MDR-TB genomic cluster), indicating the recent transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. Conclusion This combination of field investigation and WGS analysis revealed the transmission of three TB outbreaks in schools. Reinforced implementation is needed to improve timely case finding and reduce diagnosis delay in routine TB control in the school population.

Abstract
Objectives Kashgar prefecture is an important transportation and trade hub with a high incidence of tuberculosis. The following study analyzed the composition and differences in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) lineage and specific tags to distinguish the lineage of the M.tb in Kashgar prefecture, thus providing a basis for the classification and diagnosis of tuberculosis in this area. Methods Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of 161 M.tb clinical strains was performed. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using Maximum Likelihood (ML) based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and verified through principal component analysis (PCA). The composition structure of M.tb in different regions was analyzed by combining geographic information. Results M.tb clinical strains were composed of lineage 2 (73/161, 45.34%), lineage 3 (52/161, 32.30%) and lineage 4 (36/161, 22.36%). Moreover, the 3 lineages were subdivided into 11 sublineages, among which lineage 2 included lineage 2.2.2/Asia Ancestral 1 (9/73, 12.33%), lineage 2.2.1-Asia Ancestral 2 (9/73, 12.33%), lineage 2.2.1-Asia Ancestral 3 (18/73, 24.66%), and lineage 2.2.1-Modern Beijing (39/73, 53.42%). Lineage 3 included lineage 3.2 (14/52, 26.92%) and lineage 3.3 (38/52, 73.08%), while lineage 4 included lineage 4.1 (3/36, 8.33%), lineage 4.2 (2/36, 5.66%), lineage 4.4.2 (1/36, 2.78%), lineage 4.5 (28/36, 77.78%) and lineage 4.8 (2/36, 5.66%), all of which were consistent with the PCA results. One hundred thirty-six markers were proposed for discriminating known circulating strains. Reconstruction of a phylogenetic tree using the 136 SNPs resulted in a tree with the same number of delineated clades. Based on geographical location analysis, the composition of Lineage 2 in Kashgar prefecture (45.34%) was lower compared to other regions in China (54.35%-90.27%), while the composition of Lineage 3 (32.30%) was much higher than in other regions of China (0.92%-2.01%), but lower compared to the bordering Pakistan (70.40%). Conclusion Three lineages were identified in M.tb clinical strains from Kashgar prefecture, with 136 branch-specific SNP. Kashgar borders with countries that have a high incidence of tuberculosis, such as Pakistan and India, which results in a large difference between the M.tb lineage and sublineage distribution in this region and other provinces of China.

Abstract
Objective Pediatric tuberculosis (TB) is one of the top ten causes of death in children. Our study was to analyze influencing factors of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and validation of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) used in children with drug-resistant TB (DR-TB). Methods All Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) strains were isolated from patients aged below 18 years old of Children’s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, China. A total of 208 Mtb isolates were tested for eight anti-TB drugs with phenotypic drug susceptibility test (DST) and for genetic prediction of the susceptible profile with WGS. The patients corresponding to each strain were grouped according to drug resistance and genotype. Influencing factors of MDR-TB and DR-TB were analyzed. Results According to the phenotypic DST and WGS, 82.2% of Mtb strains were susceptible to all eight drugs, and 6.3% were MDR-TB. Using the phenotypic DSTs as the gold standard, the kappa value of WGS to predict isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol, rifapentine, prothionamide, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin and amikacin was 0.84, 0.89, 0.59, 0.86, 0.89, 0.82, 0.88 and 1.00, respectively. There was significant difference in the distribution of severe TB, diagnosis, treatment and outcome between MDR and drug-susceptible group (P<0.05). The distribution of severe TB and treatment between DR and drug-susceptible group was statistically different (P<0.05). The results of binary logistic regression showed that Calmette–Guérin bacillus (BCG) vaccine is the protective factor for MDR-TB (OR=0.19), and MDR-TB is the risk factor for PTB and EPTB (OR=17.98). Conclusion The BCG vaccine is a protective factor for MDR-TB, and MDR-TB might not be confined to pulmonary infection, spreading to extrapulmonary organs in children. MDR-TB had more severe cases and a lower recovery rate than drug-susceptible TB. WGS could provide an accurate prediction of drug susceptibility test results for anti-TB drugs, which are needed for the diagnosis and precise treatment of TB in children.
