Mycobacterium caprae – the first case of the human infection in Poland. Ann Agric Environ Med. 2020; 27(1): 151–153. doi: 10.26444/aaem/108442 Abstract The strain of tuberculous mycobacteria called Mycobacterium caprae infects many wild and domestic animals; however, because of its zoonotic potential and possibility of transmission between animals and humans, it poses a serious threat to public health. Due to diagnostic limitations regarding identification of MTB strains available data regarding the incidence of M. caprae, human infection does not reflect the actual size of the problem. Despite the fact that the possible routes of tuberculosis transmission are known, the epidemiological map of this zoonosis remains underestimated. The progress in diagnostic techniques, application of advanced methods of mycobacterium genome differentiation and cooperation between scientists in the field of veterinary medicine and microbiology, have a profound meaning for understanding the phenomenon of bovine tuberculosis and its supervise its incidence. This is the first bacteriologically confirmed case of human infection of M. -
Species of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Complex and Nontuberculous Mycobacteria in Respiratory Specimens from Serbia
Arch. Biol. Sci., Belgrade, 66 (2), 553-561, 2014 DOI:10.2298/ABS1402553Z SPECIES OF MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS COMPLEX AND NONTUBERCULOUS MYCOBACTERIA IN RESPIRATORY SPECIMENS FROM SERBIA IRENA ŽIVANOVIĆ1, DRAGANA VUKOVIĆ1, IVANA DAKIĆ1 and BRANISLAVA SAVIĆ1 1 Institute of Microbiology and Immunology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia Abstract - This study aimed to provide the first comprehensive report into the local pattern of mycobacterial isolation. We used the GenoType MTBC and CM/AS assays (Hain Lifescience) to perform speciation of 1 096 mycobacterial cultures isolated from respiratory specimens, one culture per patient, in Serbia over a 12-month period. The only species of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) identified in our study was M. tuberculosis, with an isolation rate of 88.8%. Ten different species of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) were recognized, and the five most frequently isolated spe- cies were, in descending order, M. xenopi, M. peregrinum, M. gordonae, M. avium and M. chelonae. In total, NTM isolates accounted for 11.2% of all isolates of mycobacteria identified in pulmonary specimens. Our results suggest that routine differentiation among members of the MTBC is not necessary, while routine speciation of NTM is required. Key words: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, nontuberculous mycobacteria, identification, GenoType MTBC, GenoType CM/AS INTRODUCTION M. mungi in banded mongooses (Alexander et al., 2010), and M. orygis in animals of the Bovidae family Currently, the genus Mycobacterium encompasses (van Ingen et al., 2012) have recently been described. 163 species and 13 subspecies described in the list of Although all members of the complex are considered bacterial species with approved names (www.bacte- tubercle bacilli, the most important causative agent rio.cict.fr/m/mycobacterium.html). -

Increasing prevalence and incidence of pulmonary infection by NTM species have widely been reported in several countries with geographical variation. Materials and Methods: Between January 2014 and September 2015, sputum specimens from chronic pulmonary TB suspect patients were analyzed. Laboratory examination of mycobacteria was conducted in the TB laboratory, Department of Clinical Microbiology, Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya. Detection and identification of mycobacteria were performed by the standard culture method using the BACTEC MGIT 960 system (BD) and Lowenstein–Jensen medium. Identification of positive Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) was based on positive acid-fast bacilli microscopic smear, positive niacin accumulation, and positive TB Ag MPT 64 test results (SD Bioline). If the growth of positive cultures and acid-fast bacilli microscopic smear was positive, but niacin accumulation and TB Ag MPT 64 (SD Bioline) results were negative, then the isolates were categorized as NTM species. MTBC isolates were also tested for their sensitivity toward first-line anti-TB drugs, using isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol, and streptomycin. -
Epidemiological Characterization of Mycobacterium Caprae Strains
Orłowska et al. BMC Veterinary Research (2020) 16:362 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12917-020-02581-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Epidemiological characterization of Mycobacterium caprae strains isolated from wildlife in the Bieszczady Mountains, on the border of Southeast Poland Blanka Orłowska1*, Monika Krajewska-Wędzina2, Ewa Augustynowicz-Kopeć3, Monika Kozińska3, Sylwia Brzezińska3, Anna Zabost3, Anna Didkowska1, Mirosław Welz4, Stanisław Kaczor5, Piotr Żmuda6 and Krzysztof Anusz1 Abstract Background: The majority of animal tuberculosis (TB) cases reported in wildlife in Poland over the past 20 years have concerned the European bison inhabiting the Bieszczady Mountains in Southeast Poland: an area running along the border of Southeast Poland. As no TB cases have been reported in domestic animals in this region since 2005, any occurrence of TB in the free-living animals inhabiting this area might pose a real threat to local livestock and result in the loss of disease-free status. The aim of the study was to describe the occurrence of tuberculosis in the wildlife of the Bieszczady Mountains and determine the microbiological and molecular characteristics of any cultured strains. Lymph node samples were collected for analysis from 274 free-living animals, including European bison, red foxes, badgers, red deer, wild boar and roe deer between 2011 and 2017. Löwenstein–Jensen and Stonebrink media were used for culture. Molecular identification of strains was performed based on hsp65 sequence analysis, the GenoType®MTBC (Hain Lifescience, Germany) test, spoligotyping and MIRU-VNTR analysis. Results: Mycobacterium caprae was isolated from the lymph nodes of 21 out of 55 wild boar (38.2%; CI 95%: 26.5%, 51.4%) and one roe deer. -

To better understand the epidemiology of M. caprae, we spoligotyped 791 animal isolates. Results suggest infection is widespread in Spain, affecting 6 domestic and wild animal species. The epidemiology is driven by infections in caprids, although the organism has emerged in cattle. ycobacterium caprae is a cluster within the M. M tuberculosis complex (online Technical Appendix, www.cdc.gov/EID/content/17/3/532-Techapp.pdf). This pathogen has been recognized mainly in central Europe, where it has been occasionally isolated from tuberculous lesions from cattle (1–5), pigs (4), red deer (Cervus elaphus) (4,5), and wild boars (Sus scrofa) (3). -

Genome Sequencing of Mycobacterium Pinnipedii Strains
Silva-Pereira et al. BMC Genomics (2019) 20:1030 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-019-6407-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genome sequencing of Mycobacterium pinnipedii strains: genetic characterization and evidence of superinfection in a South American sea lion (Otaria flavescens) Taiana T. Silva-Pereira1,2, Cássia Y. Ikuta2, Cristina K. Zimpel1,2, Naila C. S. Camargo1,2, Antônio F. de Souza Filho2, José S. Ferreira Neto2, Marcos B. Heinemann2 and Ana M. S. Guimarães1,2* Abstract Background: Mycobacterium pinnipedii, a member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex (MTBC), is capable of infecting several host species, including humans. Recently, ancient DNA from this organism was recovered from pre-Columbian mummies of Peru, sparking debate over the origin and frequency of tuberculosis in the Americas prior to European colonization. Results: We present the first comparative genomic study of this bacterial species, starting from the genome sequencing of two M. pinnipedii isolates (MP1 and MP2) obtained from different organs of a stranded South American sea lion. Our results indicate that MP1 and MP2 differ by 113 SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) and 46 indels, constituting the first report of a mixed-strain infection in a sea lion. SNP annotation analyses indicate that genes of the VapBC family, a toxin-antitoxin system, and genes related to cell wall remodeling are under evolutionary pressure for protein sequence change in these strains. OrthoMCL analysis with seven modern isolates of M. pinnipedii shows that these strains have highly similar proteomes. Gene variations were only marginally associated with hypothetical proteins and PE/PPE (proline-glutamate and proline-proline-glutamate, respectively) gene families.
