Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to distinguish tuberculous spondylodiscitis (TS) from pyogenic spondylodiscitis (PS) based on laboratory, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) findings. Further, a novel diagnostic model for differential diagnosis was developed. METHODS We obtained MRI, CT and laboratory data from TS and PS patients. Predictive models were built using binary logistic regression analysis. The receiver operating characteristic curve was analyzed. Both internal and external validation was performed. RESULTS A total of 81 patients with PS (n = 46) or TS (n = 35) were enrolled. All patients had etiological evidence from the focal lesion. Disc signal or height preservation, skip lesion or multi segment (involved segments ≥ 3) involvement, paravertebral calcification, massive sequestra formation, subligamentous bone destruction, bone erosion with osteosclerotic margin, higher White Blood Cell Count (WBC) and positive result of tuberculosis infection T cell spot test (T-SPOT.TB) were more prevalent in the TS group. A diagnostic model was developed and included four predictors: WBC<7.265 * (10^9/L), skip lesion or involved segments ≥ 3, massive sequestra formation and subligamentous bone destruction. The model showed good sensitivity, specificity, and total accuracy (91.4%, 95.7%, and 93.8%, respectively); the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.981, similar to the results of internal validation using bootstrap resampling (1000 replicates) and external validation set, indicating good clinical predictive ability. CONCLUSIONS This study develop a good diagnostic model based on both CT and MRI, as well as laboratory findings, which may help clinicians distinguish between TS and PS.

First whole genome sequencing data of a Mycobacterium tuberculosis STB-T1A strain isolated from a spinal tuberculosis patient in Sabah, Malaysia. Data Brief 2024; 54:110476.

Abstract
Spinal tuberculosis, also referred to as Pott's disease, presents a significant risk of severe paralysis if not promptly detected and treated, owing to complications such as spinal cord compression and deformity. This article presents the genetic analysis of a Mycobacterium tuberculosis STB-T1A strain, isolated from the spine of a 29-year-old female diagnosed with spinal tuberculosis. Genomic DNA was extracted from pure culture and subjected to sequencing using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 sequencing system. The genome of the M. tuberculosis STB-T1A strain spans 4,367,616 base pairs with a G+C content of 65.56 % and 4174 protein-coding genes. Comparative genomic analysis, conducted via single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based phylogenetic analysis using the Maximum Likelihood method, revealed that the strain falls within the Indo-Oceanic lineage (Lineage 1). It clusters with the M. tuberculosis 43-16836 strain, which was isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid of a patient with tuberculous meningitis in Thailand. The complete genome sequence has been deposited at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) GenBank database with the accession number JBBMVZ000000000.
