A snapshot of genomic diversity and transmission clusters of rifampin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex in the Central African Republic
Tuberculosis, a significant public health concern in Central African Republic lacks whole-genome-based identification and typing of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex strains circulating in populations in that country. Here, we investigated 68 rifampin-resistant clinical isolates collected in 2024 from eight districts in Bangui and surrounding regions. The analysis revealed that all isolates were M. tuberculosis stricto sensu, distributed across nine lineages: L4.1.2.1 Haarlem (n = 20), L4.6 Euro-American (n = 17), L4.6.1.2 Uganda (n = 13), L4.6.2.2 Cameroon (n = 12), and L4.1.1.1 X-Type (n = 2), and single isolates in L4.1 (Euro-American), L4.6.1 (Uganda), L4.3.1 (LAM), and L3 (Delhi-CAS). The antibiotic resistance profile showed that 9/68 (13.2 %) of the M. tuberculosis isolates were susceptible, while 59/68 (86.7 %) exhibited at least one predicted antibiotic resistance. These data provide new insights into tuberculosis transmission in Central African Republic in contrast to reports from neighboring countries, including the absence of Mycobacterium bovis, hence zoonotic tuberculosis and other factors. This preliminary study limited to rifampin-resistant isolates, nevertheless paves the way for a genome-based survey of tuberculosis in Central African Republic which is essential for enhancing the management and control of the deadly tuberculosis that is a public health concern in the country.
期刊介绍:
Tuberculosis is a speciality journal focusing on basic experimental research on tuberculosis, notably on bacteriological, immunological and pathogenesis aspects of the disease. The journal publishes original research and reviews on the host response and immunology of tuberculosis and the molecular biology, genetics and physiology of the organism, however discourages submissions with a meta-analytical focus (for example, articles based on searches of published articles in public electronic databases, especially where there is lack of evidence of the personal involvement of authors in the generation of such material). We do not publish Clinical Case-Studies.
Areas on which submissions are welcomed include:
-Clinical TrialsDiagnostics-
Antimicrobial resistance-
Immunology-
Leprosy-
Microbiology, including microbial physiology-
Molecular epidemiology-
Non-tuberculous Mycobacteria-
Pathogenesis-
Pathology-
Vaccine development.
This Journal does not accept case-reports.
The resurgence of interest in tuberculosis has accelerated the pace of relevant research and Tuberculosis has grown with it, as the only journal dedicated to experimental biomedical research in tuberculosis.
