Emergence of bedaquiline-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) threatens to undermine already limited treatment options. Understanding the evolution and transmission of bedaquiline-resistant strains is a high priority for TB control.OBJECTIVESWe evaluated the prevalence, strain genetic diversity, and transmission of bedaquiline resistance among people with DR-TB.METHODSWe conducted a prospective study of all patients diagnosed with TB resistant to a fluoroquinolone or a second-line injectable drug in KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa, between 2018 and 2022. We utilized whole genome sequencing (WGS), SNP-based clustering, and Bayesian reconstruction of transmission trees to examine the genomic characteristics and transmission networks of bedaquiline-resistant Mtb strains.MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTSWe enrolled 843 of 1070 eligible individuals and obtained WGS for 632 participants. Of the sequenced isolates, 14% (n=89) were genotypically bedaquiline-resistant, 67% (n=60) of which were in clusters of recently transmitted infections. Resistance was present across all Mtb lineages and across strains with different resistance profiles to other TB drugs. We observed no differences in lineage distribution, bedaquiline resistance-associated mutations, or drug resistance profiles between clustered and non-clustered isolates. Transmission inference and geographic reconstruction of transmission networks indicate considerable unsampled cases within transmission networks.CONCLUSIONSBedaquiline resistance was common in this cohort of individuals with highly DR-TB. Most bedaquiline-resistant infections were attributable to recent transmission, involving Mtb strains with diverse genetic backgrounds and a variety of causative mutations. The diversity and transmissibility of bedaquiline-resistant Mtb signal a growing public health threat.","PeriodicalId":7664,"journal":{"name":"American journal of respiratory and critical care medicine","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":24.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145194774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Classification as \"hyperinflammatory\" or \"hypoinflammatory\" depends on plasma biomarker profiling. Limited data are available about the differences in the pulmonary biology of the molecular phenotypes.OBJECTIVESTo identify differences in the pulmonary biology of ARDS molecular phenotypes.MEASUREMENTSWe compared tracheal aspirate gene expression between hyperinflammatory and hypoinflammatory phenotypes in bulk RNASeq from COVID and non-COVID ARDS, and single cell RNASeq from non-COVID ARDS. In a subset of subjects, we also compared plasma proteomic data.MAIN RESULTSIn bulk RNASeq analyses, 1157 genes were differentially expressed (FDR < 0.1) between phenotypes in non-COVID ARDS, and 85 genes were differentially expressed between phenotypes in COVID ARDS. 18 genes were reproducibly differentially expressed between phenotypes in both cohorts, including greater expression of IL32, HSPA8, and PPP3CC in hyperinflammatory ARDS. Gene set enrichment analysis identified greater expression of granulopoiesis, T cell and interferon signaling, and integrated stress response pathways in hyperinflammatory ARDS. Network analysis of scRNASeq in a third group of patients identified greater T cell signaling to other immune cells in hyperinflammatory ARDS.CONCLUSIONSHyperinflammatory and hypoinflammatory ARDS molecular phenotypes have distinct air space biology. Hyperinflammatory ARDS is characterized by an increased interferon-stimulated gene expression and T cell activation in the lungs.
