Sublineages of lineage 4 (Euro-American) Mycobacterium tuberculosis differ in genotypic clustering

Abstract: Sublineage 183 is associated with genotypic clustering, evidence of its being more able to cause secondary cases than the other lineage 4 sublineages. This finding suggests that bacterial factors contribute to the pathogenesis of TB. Spoligotype and MIRU type cannot be used to infer sublineage.

“…This sub-lineage was also more virulent in guinea pigs, supporting again an intrinsic bacterial role in increased pathogenicity linked to enhanced transmission [176]. Sub-lineages of other lineages also tend to differ in their transmissibility as observed in San Francisco, USA for Lineage 4 [203] and Cotonu, Benin for Lineage 5 [72]. However, three studies have reported decreasing prevalence of M. africanum (i.e.…”

“…Studies examining biological consequences of genotypic variations within sublineages is limited. In a study conducted in San Francisco, USA, a sub-lineage of Lineage 4 significantly differed in its transmissibility in comparison to other strains in the lineage 61 . A systematic review of MTBC in Africa revealed no link between Mtb lineage and clinical presentation of disease, but within Lineage 4 some sublineages were found to be associated more frequently with lymphnode TB than PTB 62 .…”
