| Popis: | Background and Aims Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are mainly distributed as important emerging pathogens in patients with chronic or immunosuppressive diseases. Accurate identification of causative species is crucial for proper treatment and patient follow-up. However, several difficulties are associated with phenotypic and molecular diagnostic methods for precise identification at the species level due to shared metabolic and genetic characteristics. We undertook this study to evaluate the application of the phylogenetic method based on hsp65 gene into Telenti's PCR-restriction enzyme analysis (PRA) for molecular identification of NTM. Methods The study population was comprised of 1646 Mycobacterium clinical isolates (AFB positive) collected from 2008–2011, of which 537 (32.6%) were MNT identified by PRA analysis. DNA sequencing of hsp65 in 53 isolates (10%) was performed. Sequence identification through NCBI-Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) achieved correct identification in 23 isolates. Phylogenetic trees including hsp65 available GenBank sequences for all described genres of NTM and hsp65 obtained sequences were constructed using Mega 5.05 software. We compared sequence identification based on phylogenetic clustering and BLAST similarity search. Results Phylogenetic clustering allowed more specific differentiation of closely related species and clearer identification in comparison with BLAST; 30 Mycobacterium species (this is the first report of isolation of some of these from clinical samples in Mexico) were identified in this way. Conclusions The proposed 440 bp hsp65 phylogenetic method allows a better identification tool to differentiate Mycobacterium species and is useful to complement diagnosis and epidemiological surveillance of NTM. |
