Novel Genetic Polymorphisms That Further Delineate the Phylogeny of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex

Abstract: In a previous report, we described a PCR protocol for the differentiation of the various species of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) on the basis of genomic deletions (R. C. Huard, L. C. de Oliveira Lazzarini, W. R. Butler, D. van Soolingen, and J. L. Ho, J. Clin. Microbiol. 41:1637-1650, 2003). That report also provided a broad cross-comparison of several previously identified, phylogenetically relevant, longsequence and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (LSPs and SNPs, respectively). In the present… Show more

“…The remaining pellets were suspended in 1 mL PBS, and 500 mL of the suspension was inoculated into a Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT) and incubated in a BACTEC TM MGIT 960 Mycobacterial Detection System (both Becton Dickinson). Cultures that were Ziehl-Neelsen stain-positive were identified to species by sequencing fragments of the 16S ribosomal DNA (Harmsen et al 2003) and gyrB genes (Huard et al 2006).…”

“…M. bovis was identified from the results of the multiplex-PCR, which targets three genetic regions that are cfp32, RD9 and RD12. 6,[22][23][24] In summary, our study clearly provides evidence that the LAMP assay is a method that allows direct detection of MTC from processed clinical/abattoir specimens. This means that the technique can also be applied in the field of veterinary medicine for rapid confirmation of suspected cases.…”

“…These include M. tuberculosis, M. africanum, M. microti, M. bovis, M. caprae, and M. pinnipedii. [4][5][6] Some of these Mycobacterium species are major reemerging zoonotic agents of bovine TB, the prevalence of which depends on direct exposure to cattle and consumption of unpasteurized dairy products. 7,8 Furthermore, the interaction in the human-livestock-wildlife interphase areas of some wildlife animals like lechwe (Kobus leche kafuensis), documented with M. bovis, have broadened the reservoir base for MTC.…”

“…20 The spoligotype was determined as previously described. 21 Briefly, the direct-repeat (DR) region was amplified with a primer pair and the PCR products were hybridized to a set of 43 oligonucleotide probes corresponding to each spacer, which were covalently bound to the membrane.…”
