Objectives: To report an isolate of Mycobacterium intracellulare subsp. chimaera with multiple mutations in 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene, resulting in the false-negative reaction to the transcription-reverse transcription concerted (TRC) method for Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex. Methods: We used TRC, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization Time-of-Flight/Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/MS) methods to identify a clinical isolate in 2021. Due to the discordant results between TRC and PCR or MALDI-TOF MS methods, 16S rRNA sequencing, whole-genome shotgun (WGS) sequencing, and average nucleotide identity (ANI) analysis were employed to identify the isolate. Results: A mycobacterial isolate from a sputum sample gave negative results for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex or M. avium-intracellulare complex by the TRC method. However, the isolate was identified as M. intracellulare by both PCR method and MALDI-TOF MS method. WGS sequencing of 16S rRNA genome revealed eight substitution mutations and one insertion mutation within the region, which could hamper the correct reaction to TRC method. Subsequent ANI analysis between the isolate and various species of nontuberculosis mycobacteria revealed that the isolate could be identified as M. intracellulare subsp. chimaera. Conclusion: Rare mutations within the 16S rRNA genome resulted in the false-negative identification of Mycobacterium chimaera by the TRC method. WGS sequencing and ANI analysis was necessary to identify the isolate. |
