Molecular strain typing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex in Bamako, Mali

Abstract: This study indicates a low level of primary drug resistance in Bamako, affirms the importance of using correct drug regimens, and suggests that the MTB T1 strain may be associated with the development of resistance.

“…We observed a high proportion of the three subspecies (MTB T1, MAF 2 and MTB LAM), similarly to what Traore et al . reported in 2012, [3,13] suggesting a relative stability and endemicity of the disease transmission. However, unlike Mali, the continuous predominance of MTB T1 was not observed in our neighboring countries such as Burkina Faso, Benin, and Nigeria.…”

“…[14] Beyond our West African region, MTB LAM or MTB Cameroon was consistently reported to be the most frequent in Cameroun. [4,15–17] We found eight (1.8%) strains of MTB Beijing with a slight increased proportion compared to Traore et al .’s report of 2012 (1.6%) [3] while a higher prevalence of 10.3% was reported in Benin. [15] The Beijing strain was first described in 2010 in Bamako and continued to be a challenge in our region and globally because of its usual higher resistance to TB drugs.…”
