Pathogen genotypes and host phenotypes of Mycobacterium abscessus pulmonary disease in Taiwan
Background
Mycobacterium abscessus (Mabs) pulmonary disease (Mabs-PD) is difficult to treat, particularly in subspecies abscessus (Mabs-a), usually harboring macrolide-resistant sequevars, unlike subspecies massiliense (Mabs-m). The relationship between Mabs genetic variants and clinical features remains largely unexplored.
Methods
In this retrospective cohort study, patients with Mabs-PD and Mabs extrapulmonary disease (Mabs-ED), identified during 2016–2018, were observed for severe or progressive Mabs-PD, indicated by antibiotic needs or increased lung lesions. DNA of Mabs isolates was sequenced to determine subspecies and evaluate macrolide-resistance genetic variants (rrl mutations or functional erm(41) with T28 sequevar).
Results
The Mabs-PD group (n = 77) was older and thinner than the Mabs-ED group (n = 20). In Mabs-PD, macrolide-resistance genetic variants were detected in 84.6 % of Mabs-a (n = 42) and 9.4 % of Mabs-m (n = 35) isolates (p < 0.001). Cavitary disease (n = 10) and non-cavitary bilateral disease (n = 45) were associated with an increased risk of severe or progressive Mabs-PD compared to non-cavitary unilateral disease (n = 22) (adjusted odds ratio 13.039 [95 % CI 1.239–137.172], p = 0.032; and 4.875 [0.755–31.502], p = 0.096, respectively). Patients with cavitary disease or non-cavitary bilateral disease were more likely to harbor Mabs-m isolates compared to those with non-cavitary unilateral disease (50.0 % and 57.8 % vs. 18.2 %, p = 0.008). Bilateral disease (n = 54, with 9 cavitary disease included) was inversely associated with macrolide-resistance genetic variants, a finding consistent across subgroup analyses, with an adjusted odds ratio of 0.187 (95 % CI [0.054–0.646], p = 0.008).
Conclusions
Mabs-PD patients with cavitary or bilateral disease, potentially requiring treatment initiation, had a lower risk of harboring macrolide-resistant Mabs, emphasizing the importance of phenotype-specific investigations to enhance clinical decision-making.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Infection and Public Health, first official journal of the Saudi Arabian Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs, King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences and the Saudi Association for Public Health, aims to be the foremost scientific, peer-reviewed journal encompassing infection prevention and control, microbiology, infectious diseases, public health and the application of healthcare epidemiology to the evaluation of health outcomes. The point of view of the journal is that infection and public health are closely intertwined and that advances in one area will have positive consequences on the other.
The journal will be useful to all health professionals who are partners in the management of patients with communicable diseases, keeping them up to date. The journal is proud to have an international and diverse editorial board that will assist and facilitate the publication of articles that reflect a global view on infection control and public health, as well as emphasizing our focus on supporting the needs of public health practitioners.
It is our aim to improve healthcare by reducing risk of infection and related adverse outcomes by critical review, selection, and dissemination of new and relevant information in the field of infection control, public health and infectious diseases in all healthcare settings and the community.
