Abstract Background The only licensed live Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine used to prevent severe childhood tuberculosis comprises genetically divergent strains with variable protective efficacy and rates of BCG-induced adverse events. The whole-genome sequencing (WGS) allowed evaluating the genome stability of BCG strains and the impact of spontaneous heterogeneity in seed and commercial lots on the efficacy of BCG-vaccines in different countries. Our study aimed to assess sequence variations and their putative effects on genes and protein functions in the BCG-1 (Russia) seed lots compared to their progeny isolates available from immunocompetent children with BCG-induced disease (mainly, osteitis). Results Based on the WGS data, we analyzed the links between seed lots 361, 367, and 368 used for vaccine manufacture in Russia in different periods, and their nine progeny isolates recovered from immunocompetent children with BCG-induced disease. The complete catalog of variants in genes relative to the reference genome (GenBank: CP013741) included 4 synonymous and 8 nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms, and 3 frameshift deletions. Seed lot 361 shared variants with 2 of 6 descendant isolates that had higher proportions of such polymorphisms in several genes, including ppsC, eccD5, and eccA5 involved in metabolism and cell wall processes and reportedly associated with virulence in mycobacteria. One isolate preserved variants of its parent seed lot 361 without gain of further changes in the sequence profile within 14 years. Conclusions The background genomic information allowed us for the first time to follow the BCG diversity starting from the freeze-dried seed lots to descendant clinical isolates. Sequence variations in several genes of seed lot 361 did not alter the genomic stability and viability of the vaccine and appeared accumulated in isolates during the survival in the human organism. The impact of the observed variations in the context of association with the development of BCG-induced disease should be evaluated in parallel with the immune status and host genetics. Comparative genomic studies of BCG seed lots and their descendant clinical isolates represent a beneficial approach to better understand the molecular bases of efficacy and adverse events during the long-term survival of BCG in the host organism. |
