    Abstract New classes of antitubercular drugs, diarylquinolines and nitroimidazoles, have been associated with improved outcomes in the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis, but that success is threatened by emerging drug resistance. We report a case of bedaquiline and delamanid resistance in a 55-year-old woman in South Africa with extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis and known HIV.

    Abstract Mycobacterium tuberculosis has acquired drug resistance to all drugs that have been used against it, including those only recently introduced into clinical practice. Compared to other bacteria, it has a well conserved genome due to its role as an obligate human pathogen that has adapted to a niche over five to ten thousand years. These features facilitate reconstruction and dating of M. tuberculosis phylogenies, giving key insights into how resistance has been acquired and spread globally. Resistance to each new drug has occurred within five to ten years of clinical use and has occurred even more rapidly with recently introduced drugs. In most cases, resistance-conferring mutations come with a fitness cost, but this can be overcome by compensatory mutations which restore fitness to that of wild-type bacteria. It is likely that M. tuberculosis acquires drug resistance while maintaining limited genomic variability due the generation of low frequency within-host variation, combined with ongoing purifying selection causing loss of variants without a clear fitness advantage. However, variants that do confer an advantage, such as drug resistance, can increase in prevalence amongst all bacteria within a host and become the dominant clone. These resistant strains can then be transmitted leading to primary drug resistant infection in a new host. As many countries move towards genomic methods for diagnosis of M. tuberculosis infection and drug resistance, it is important to be aware of the implications for the evolution of resistance. Currently, understanding of resistance-conferring mutations is incomplete, and some targeted genetic diagnostics create their own selective pressures. We discuss an example where a rifampicin resistance-conferring mutation which was not routinely covered by standard testing became dominant. Finally, resistance to new drugs such as bedaquiline and delamanid is caused by individually rare mutations occurring across a large mutational genomic target that have been detected over a short time, and do not provide statistical power for genotype-phenotype correlation - in contrast to longer-established drugs that form the backbone of drug-sensitive antituberculosis therapy. Therefore, we need a different approach to identify resistance-conferring mutations of new drugs before their resistance becomes widespread, abrogating their usefulness.

    Abstract Background: Clinical bedaquiline resistance predominantly involves mutations in mmpR5 (Rv0678). However, mmpR5 resistance-associated variants (RAVs) have a variable relationship with phenotypic Mycobacterium tuberculosis resistance. We did a systematic review to assess the maximal sensitivity of sequencing bedaquiline resistance-associated genes and evaluate the association between RAVs and phenotypic resistance, using traditional and machine-based learning techniques.
    Methods: We screened public databases for articles published from database inception until Oct 31, 2022. Eligible studies performed sequencing of at least mmpR5 and atpE on clinically sourced M tuberculosis isolates and measured bedaquiline minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). A bias risk scoring tool was used to identify bias. Individual genetic mutations and corresponding MICs were aggregated, and odds ratios calculated to determine association of mutations with resistance. Machine-based learning methods were used to define test characteristics of parsimonious sets of diagnostic RAVs, and mmpR5 mutations were mapped to the protein structure to highlight mechanisms of resistance. This study was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42022346547).
    Findings: 18 eligible studies were identified, comprising 975 M tuberculosis isolates containing at least one potential RAV (mutation in mmpR5, atpE, atpB, or pepQ), with 201 (20·6%) showing phenotypic bedaquiline resistance. 84 (29·5%) of 285 resistant isolates had no candidate gene mutation. Sensitivity and positive predictive value of taking an any mutation approach was 69% and 14%, respectively. 13 mutations, all in mmpR5, had a significant association with a resistant MIC (adjusted p<0·05). Gradient-boosted machine classifier models for predicting intermediate or resistant and resistant phenotypes both had receiver operator characteristic c statistic of 0·73 (95% CI 0·70-0·76). Frameshift mutations clustered in the α1 helix DNA-binding domain, and substitutions in the α2 and α3 helix hinge region and in the α4 helix-binding domain.
    Interpretation: Sequencing candidate genes is insufficiently sensitive to diagnose clinical bedaquiline resistance, but where identified, some mutations should be assumed to be associated with resistance. Genomic tools are most likely to be effective in combination with rapid phenotypic diagnostics. This study was limited by selective sampling in contributing studies and only considering single genetic loci as causative of resistance.

    Abstract Sleeping sickness (or Human African Trypanosomiasis, HAT) is a potentially fatal parasitic disease that affects a large proportion of sub-Saharan Africa. It was epidemic in the early 20th century before being nearly eradicated through a variety of control programmes. Despite this, there was a resurgence in the 1980s and 90s following relaxation of these programmes. Recent advances are reversing this trend once more. However, more research is required to improve diagnosis and treatment, and to better understand the epidemiology of HAT if complete eradication is to be achieved in the future.
