Advancements in molecular biology have revolutionized the identification and characterization of bacteria, with multiple methods leveraging DNA sequencing for enhanced precision. As sequencing technologies improve and costs decline, these approaches are increasingly used in clinical, environmental, and evolutionary studies.Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) examines several housekeeping genes, essential chromosomal genes encoding cellular functions, to distinguish strains. Approximately...

Area of Science:

  • Genomic epidemiology
  • Molecular biology
  • Public health microbiology

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) control relies on understanding the spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis genotypes.
  • Multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) TB strains are often linked to specific epidemiological lineages.
  • Genomic surveillance is essential for effective TB control strategies, particularly in North Eurasia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate PCR-based tools for identifying major Mycobacterium tuberculosis genotypes.
  • To support the WHO framework for genomic epidemiological surveillance of TB.
  • To investigate the prevalence of key TB genotypes in the Krasnoyarsk Krai and Irkutsk region.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a primer and TaqMan probe panel for PCR-based SNP identification.
  • Validation using 590 randomly selected Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains from Krasnoyarsk Krai and Irkutsk region (2021-2025).
  • Application of two PCR assays to discriminate between L2 (Beijing) and L4 (Euro-American) lineages.

Main Results:

  • Identified 308 Beijing (L2) and 88 Euro-American (L4) strains in Krasnoyarsk Krai; 164 Beijing (L2) and 30 Euro-American (L4) strains in Irkutsk region.
  • Detailed subtyping of L2 (B0/W148, Central Asian, orphan) and L4 (Haarlem, LAM, Ural, S, orphan) genotypes was performed.
  • The developed PCR approach effectively covers over 99% of TB strains in North Eurasia, requiring a maximum of eight PCRs for genotyping and subtyping.

Conclusions:

  • A validated PCR-based genotyping strategy effectively identifies major Mycobacterium tuberculosis lineages (L2 and L4) prevalent in North Eurasia.
  • This approach facilitates genomic epidemiological surveillance for MDR/XDR-TB strains.
  • The framework allows for efficient genotyping and subtyping, with potential for further refinement.
