Abstract
Background Mycobacterium kansasii infection is one of the most common causes of non-tuberculosis mycobacterial (NTM) disease worldwide. However, accurate information on the global prevalence of this bacterium is lacking. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of M. kansasii in clinical and environmental isolates. Methods Databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and the Web of Science, were utilized to gather articles on the prevalence of M. kansasii in clinical and environmental isolates. The collected data were analyzed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software. Results A total of 118 and 16 studies met the inclusion criteria and were used to analyze the prevalence of M. kansasii in clinical and environmental isolates, respectively. The prevalence of M. kansasii in NTM and environmental isolates were 9.4 and 5.8%, respectively. Subsequent analysis showed an increasing prevalence of M. kansasii over the years. Additionally, the results indicated a significant difference in the prevalence of this bacteria among different regions. Conclusion The relatively high prevalence of M. kansasii among NTM isolates suggests the need for further implementation of infection control strategies. It is also important to establish appropriate diagnostic criteria and management guidelines for screening this microorganism in environmental samples in order to prevent its spread, given its high prevalence in environmental isolates.

Abstract
Introduction. Disease caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is an emergent problem. Because NTM pulmonary disease and tuberculosis (TB) have similar clinical presentations, many cases of NTM may be misdiagnosed as TB before laboratory identification of the NTM species.Hypothesis/Gap Statement. Clinical laboratories should always perform differentiation between Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) and NTM to guide patients' correct treatment.Aim. To describe the characteristics and to identify mycobacterial isolates presumptively classified as MTBC by macroscopic characteristics in culture media that tested negative in GenoType MTBDRplus.Methodology. All cultures from February 2019 to December 2021 showing MTBC macroscopic characteristics were processed by GenoType MTBDRplus. MTBC-negative cultures underwent species identification by immunochromatography, line probe assays and PRA-hsp65. Patients' data were obtained from Brazilian surveillance systems.Results. Only 479 (3.1%) of 15 696 isolates presumptively identified as MTBC were not confirmed by GenoType MTBDRplus and were then subjected to identification. A total of 344 isolates were shown to be NTM, of which 309 (64.5%) and 35 (7.3%) were identified to the species and genus levels, respectively. Of the 204 NTM isolates with MTBC characteristics, the most frequent species were M. fortuitum (n=52, 25.5%), M. abscessus complex (MABC; n=27, 13.2%) and M. avium complex (MAC; n=26, 12.7%). Regarding the GenoType MTBDRplus results from NTM isolates, there were diverse hybridisation profiles with rpoB gene's different wild-type (WT) probes. Seventy-six (16.1%) of the 473 patients were classified as having NTM disease, the most frequent being MAC (n=15, 19.7%), MABC (n=13, 17.1%), M. kansasii (n=10, 13.2%) and M. fortuitum (n=6, 7.9%).Conclusion. Because the signs and symptoms of pulmonary TB are similar to those of pulmonary mycobacteriosis and treatment regimens for TB and NTM are different, identifying the disease-causing species is paramount to indicate the correct management. Thus, in the laboratory routine, when an isolate presumptively classified as MTBC is MTBC-negative, it is still essential to perform subsequent identification.

Antimicrobial Resistance in Rapidly Growing Nontuberculous Mycobacteria among Domestic and Wild Animals Emphasizing the Zoonotic Potential. Microorganisms 2023; 11:2520. [PMID: 37894179 PMCID: PMC10609087 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11102520] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are opportunistic pathogens capable of causing infections in humans and animals. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the potential role of domestic and wild animals as a reservoir of multiple resistant, rapidly growing NTM strains representing a potential zoonotic threat to humans. A total of 87 animal isolates belonging to 11 rapidly growing species (visible colonies appear within three to seven days) were genotyped and tested for susceptibility to the 15 most commonly used antibiotics in the treatment of such infections in a human clinic. By determining the antimicrobial susceptibility, the most prevalent resistance was found to cephalosporins (>50%), followed by amoxicillin-clavulanate (31.0%), clarithromycin (23.0%), tobramycin (14.9%) and doxycycline (10.3%). Resistance to imipenem, ciprofloxacin, minocycline and linezolid was notably lower (<7.0%). All tested isolates were susceptible to amikacin and moxifloxacin. The most frequent resistance was proved in the most pathogenic species: M. fortuitum, M. neoaurum, M. vaccae and M. porcinum. Meanwhile, other species displayed a higher sensitivity rate. No significant resistance differences between domestic and wild animals were found. The established significant frequency of resistance highlights the significant zoonotic potential posed by circulating rapidly growing NTM strains, which could lead to challenges in the treatment of these infections.

EINSTEIN-SAO PAULO 2022; 20:eAO5510. [PMID: 35170707 PMCID: PMC8827356 DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2022ao5510] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2019] [Accepted: 07/15/2020] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To present the frequency and species diversity of non-tuberculous mycobacteria, estimate the prevalence of non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease, describe the epidemiological profile, and determine the follow-up of patients with non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease living in a region with a high burden of tuberculosis. Methods This a retrospective cohort observational study using data records obtained from the Instituto Adolfo Lutz - Santos and from the São Paulo Sistema de Vigilância de Tuberculose do Estado de São Paulo in the period between 2000 and 2009. The studied variables were: socio-demographic characteristics, current and past history of tuberculosis, aspects related to diagnosis, and treatment and associated diseases. Results We included 319 non-tuberculous mycobacteria isolates in the study, corresponding to 257 patients. The species Mycobacterium kansasii (28.5%) and Mycobacterium fortuitum (16.6%) presented the higher occurrence. In 10.9% (24) of the patients, there was a criterion for confirming a case of pulmonary disease due to non-tuberculous mycobacteria. In relation to gender and age, male and individuals over 50 years old were the most frequent. Considering the confirmed cases, 47.8% had a past history of tuberculosis. Conclusion The lack of information about the cases is evident, since pulmonary disease due to non-tuberculous mycobacteria is not mandatory. The therapeutic regimen according to the identified species is fundamental for success in combating the infections caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria. Besides that, information about the regional epidemiology of pulmonary disease caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria and the search for associations with other comorbidities are important to establish the correct treatment. In order to improve surveillance of pulmonary diseases by non-tuberculous mycobacteria, we suggest the implantation of a sentinel surveillance and of population-based studies.
