Migrations and Tuberculosis: A comparative study of Mycobacterium tuberculosis genomic population structure in Brazil and Mozambique to historical triangular slave trade knowledge to reconstruct the origins of tuberculosis infections caused by Lineage 1 in Brazil
Thibaut Morel-Journel, Christophe Guyeux, Christophe Sola
Tuberculosis, 2026
Lineage 1 is an ancestral lineage of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) comprising five sublineages. In a previous study, we suggested that a representative of sublineage L1.1.3, present in both Mozambique and northern Brazil, SIT129, may have been brought to Brazil by sea during the long history of slavery that lasted, between Africa and Brazil, from the early 16th century to the mid-19th century. In this study, using a combination of new comparative genomics results and human migration data extracted from the SlaveVoyages.org database, we sought to more precisely reconstruct the scenario for the introduction of L1 genotypes into Brazil. We present results showing substantial similarities between the MTBC population structure in present-day Mozambique and Brazil across three subclades, L1.1.2, L1.1.3, and L1.2.2, and convergent historical data. Indeed, several introductions between the 16th and 19th centuries could explain the higher contemporary prevalence of L1 in northern Brazil. Our data do not allow us to decide between a direct introduction of L1 isolates into northern Brazil and intra-Brazilian transmission from the main southern ports, which seems likely. Other less likely scenarios are also discussed.

Kazakhstan has one of the highest incidence rates of MDR-TB in the WHO European Region. However, data on the genomic diversity of circulating Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains in Kazakhstan remains limited. We performed whole-genome sequencing on 177 clinical M. tuberculosis isolates belonging to the L2/Beijing lineage, sourced from 15 regions across Kazakhstan. WGS data were analyzed using the computational genomics pipelines TB-Profiler, TB-Annotator, and MTBseq. We then carried out Bayesian analyses using the BEAST algorithm to predict the effective population size dynamics of M. tuberculosis in Kazakhstan over the last 50 years. Phenotypic drug susceptibility testing revealed a significant proportion of MDR (46.9%) and pre-XDR (14.7%) isolates. Phylogenetic analysis showed that 67.2% of M. tuberculosis L2/Beijing isolates belonged to the Central Asian outbreak (CAO) sublineage. Putative compensatory variants were detected in 89.6% of RIF-resistant CAO isolates, with rpoABC variants showing strong sublineage specificity. Furthermore, phylogenetic analysis contributed to the identification of six novel historical clusters, each characterized by distinct SNP signatures. Phylogenetic reconstruction indicated recent transmission and clonal expansion of CAO isolates. Meanwhile, Bayesian skyline analysis revealed a marked increase in the effective population size of Mtb. This study used genomic characterization to show that the CAO sublineage of M. tuberculosis lineage 2 has been highly successful during the MDR-TB epidemic in Kazakhstan, which has coincided with major economic fluctuations.

Drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) complicates global efforts toward TB elimination. However, the introduction of new and repurposed drugs— particularly the all-oral BPaL regimen (bedaquiline, pretomanid, and linezolid)—has raised hopes due to its favorable treatment outcomes for multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) TB. Susceptibility to these new drugs may vary depending on the lineage of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) strain. Within the framework of a research project investigating the association between potential resistance-associated nucleotide variants and MTB lineages, we used the proprietary pipeline TB-Annotator to analyze 125,000 publicly available Short Read Archive datasets from NCBI. We identified 65 mutations across 65 clonal complexes of the lineage 2 (L2), that share at least one SNP within a list of 14 genes potentially involved in drug resistance to BPaL. During this large-scale genomic screening, we identified a previously uncharacterized clonal complex of 49 SRAs that did not belong to any previously described ancient or modern L2-sublineages (modern 1 to modern 6). We therefore performed a comparative genomic analysis on a representative set of L2 isolates to fully characterize this group. These 49 SRAs are found in an independent branch of the L2 phylogenetic tree. They share 4 SNPs, including an Ile-to-Leu substitution in the product of fbiD , and are organized into two subclusters, with an intra-sublineage SNP distance of around 150 ± 50 SNPs. We named this novel sublineage L2.2-M7. Further functional validation—through phenotypic drug susceptibility testing and gene replacement—is needed to determine whether this fbiD mutation confers resistance to pretomanid. Global genomic surveillance of this emerging sublineage is warranted to monitor its spread and clinical relevance in the era of new TB treatment regimens. • Based on a very large database of public short read archives (SRA), we extracted potential Resistance-Associated-Variants to new antituberculosis drugs (BPal and BPalM) in L2. • We characterize a new set of clinical isolates with totally new features, unknown in the current Lineage 2 Beijing Taxonomy. • We describe in detail the genetic characteristics of this new Modern L2 Lineage. • We provide an updated phylogenetic tree of L2 with this new Modern L2 Lineage that we name L2 Modern 7. • We study in depth the evolution of this Modern 7 L2 sublineage.

Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable potential in various natural language processing tasks, including text generation, question-answering, etc. However, their application in specialized domains like medical research remains limited due to their tendency to produce harmful or inaccurate responses. This is especially true in the field of microbiology, here on Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), where generating reliable and safe medical advice is critical. Creating domain-specific question-answer datasets essential for fine-tuning LLMs is labor-intensive and time-consuming. In this study, we present Q&A-ET (Question and Answer Evaluator Toolkit), a framework designed to streamline the generation of high-quality question-answer datasets by leveraging both human feedback and the capabilities of LLMs. Our approach not only reduces the time and effort required to build datasets but also enhances the accuracy and reliability of LLMs in the medical domain. We will open-source both the toolkit and the MTB question-answer dataset, which consist of two articles with 55 unique questions and 124 expert-evaluated question-answer pairs reviewed by a medical expert, offering valuable resources for future research in this critical area.
Building a Large Dataset of Genome Mutations Associated with Antibiotic Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Proceedings of IEEE ACS International Conference on Computer Systems and Applications Aiccsa, 2025
Antibiotic resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis remains a critical global health challenge, demanding harmonized, large-scale data to identify and predict resistanceconferring mutations. We present a unified, mutation-level database of clinical M. tuberculosis isolates linking whole-genome variation to drug resistance phenotypes across a broad spectrum of first- and second-line antibiotics. The resource integrates: (i) curated repositories (including CRyPTIC and a Nature study) encompassing approximately 12,000 genomes with phenotypes [1]; (ii) an automated large language model (LLM) text-mining pipeline that scanned over 20,000 articles to extract SRAlinked resistance/susceptibility statements (approximately $\mathbf{2, 0 0 0}$ additional entries) [2], [3]; and (iii) the PATRIC compendium mapped to SRA identifiers, adding thousands of strains with annotated drug responses [4]. After reconciling strain names with NCBI SRA accessions, we standardize drug nomenclature, deduplicate records, and produce a genome-wide, binary mutation matrix (over 150,000 features per isolate) paired with resistance/susceptibility labels. This database consolidates established and newly reported mutations, expands coverage for recently introduced or repurposed antibiotics, and is immediately ML-ready. Preliminary models (XGBoost) achieve strong performance and reproduce known drivers (e.g., rpoB, katG, gyrA) while surfacing potential multimutation interactions [5], [6]. As a standardized, richly annotated training set, this resource enables robust AI development and benchmarking for resistance prediction, supports genomic surveillance, and accelerates diagnostic and therapeutic design in TB.

Analysis of genome sequencing data from >100,000 genomes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex using TB-Annotator software revealed a previously unknown lineage, proposed name L10, in central Africa. Phylogenetic reconstruction suggests L10 could represent a missing link in the evolutionary and geographic migration histories of M. africanum.
Advanced Machine Learning for Predicting Drug Resistance in Clinical Isolates of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Complex

Proceedings 2024 World Conference on Complex Systems Wccs 2024, 2024
Tuberculosis remains a significant public health issue, and addressing multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains is a critical global health priority. Resistance primarily results from mutations in genes related to drug targets or enzyme conversions, though our understanding of these mutations is still incomplete. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has become a prevalent method for rapidly characterizing bacterial isolates and detecting mutations associated with drug resistance. Despite its widespread use, WGS has limitations, particularly in accounting for the evolutionary aspects of resistance. Conversely, machine learning techniques have shown great promise in predicting Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) resistance to specific drugs and in identifying resistance markers efficiently. In this study, machine learning models were applied to a dataset of 28,073 MTB isolates, which had undergone both WGS analysis and laboratory-based drug susceptibility testing (DST) for ten antituberculosis drugs. Advanced boosting algorithms, including extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM), and a novel deep neural network model, were employed to forecast drug resistance. Separate models were constructed for each drug, using the 10 most impactful feature classes as input variables during the training phase to optimize performance. The effectiveness of the models was evaluated using various metrics, such as sensitivity, specificity, F1 score, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the area under the curve (AUC). All three models accurately predicted drug resistance, with the deep learning model outperforming existing methods. AU C values for nine drugs ranged from 0.97 to 0.99, demonstrating model robustness. This study underscores the utility of machine learning for drug resistance prediction, effectively integrating multiple predictors and aiding clinical decision-making while improving SNP detection as WGS data increases.
