The study introduces a rapid method for determining drug resistance and genotype of M.leprae directly from clinical specimens, offering a new approach for faster genetic analysis.
Mycobacterium leprae is the predominant cause of leprosy worldwide, and its genotypes can be classified into four single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) types and 16 subtypes. Determining M. leprae drug resistance and genotype is typically done by PCR and Sanger DNA sequencing, which require substantial effort. Here, we describe a rapid method involving multiplex PCR in combination with nested amplification and next-generation sequence analysis that allows simultaneous determination of M. leprae drug resistance and SNP genotype directly from clinical specimens. We used this method to analyze clinical samples from two paucibacillary, nine multibacillary, and six type-undetermined leprosy patients. Regions in folP1, rpoB, gyrA, and gyrB that determine drug resistance and those for 84 SNP-InDels in the M. leprae genome were amplified from clinical samples and their sequences determined. The results showed that seven samples were subtype 1A, three were 1D, and seven were 3K. Three samples of the subtype 3K had folp1 mutation. The method may allow more rapid genetic analyses of M. leprae in clinical samples.
