Genetic diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and transmission associated with first-line drug resistance: a first analysis in Jalisco, Mexico

Abstract: This study using spoligotyping and MIRU-VNTR showed that the analysed strains were not related to each other since no two identical strains were found. Families with the highest prevalence in the study were orphans followed by T family.

“…However, the most used genes as markers, according to studies, such as a recent systematic review (Seifert et al), (18) which evaluated 11.411 M. tuberculosis isolates in 49 countries (January 2000 to August 2013), are the katG (315 G/C) and the inhA (-15 C/T) promoter region. Confirming these findings, we also have the study of Monteserin et al, (19) who evaluated the same markers to analyse the drug resistance profile of INH and the distribution of clusters in Argentina, as well as the study of Lopez-Avalos et al, (20) which used the same markers to identify the resistance already described.…”

“…Many factors may affect the codon usage in Mycobacterium tuberculosis , such as mutation pressure [ 12 ], gene length [ 13 ], and natural selection [ 14 ]. Most previous studies deal with the relatively smaller set of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates [ 15 , 16 ] or the isolates from one area [ 17 , 18 ]. In this paper, genetic diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from 12 areas is compared and analyzed.…”

“…Previous reports have also indicated that in areas with low prevalence of TB high genetic diversity is expected (Lopez-Avalos et al, 2017;Michel et al, 2008) since the dominance and transmission of a single strain is less likely, rather TB in such settings is the result of reactivation from previous infections. This is substantiated in the current study by the fact that there were 69 spoligotype patterns from the 177 M. tuberculosis isolates typed.…”
