In March 2014, a molecular cluster of five multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis was detected by the Austrian National Reference Laboratory. An investigation was initiated to determine if transmission had occurred within Austria. Epidemiological links to Germany and Romania prompted a multi-national joint investigation, tracing the outbreak. The results were published by Fiebig and coworkers in 2017.
Whole genome SNP analysis allowed for high resolution clustering of isolates. Whole genome sequencing further permitted simultaneous detection of resistance-causing variants. Using an improved variant detection pipeline, we identified novel variants undetected in the original study. We used functional analysis to explore if novel variants could be associated to antimicrobial resistance.
Using the data published by Fiebig at al. in 2017, we demonstrate the use of CLC Microbial Genomics Module for tracing pathogen transmission during outbreaks and for the detection and functional analysis of resistance-causing variants. The applied user-friendly tools and preconfigured workflows ensure ease of use and reproducibility.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis – Infection
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the deadliest diseases worldwide
• One third of the world’s population has been infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis
• In 2015, 10.4 million became sick with TB and 1.8 million died from TB-related causes worldwide
Clinical manifestations of tuberculosis
• Pulmonary TB
• Extrapulmonary TB affecting organs other than the lungs
◦ Pleura, lymph nodes, abdomen, skin, bones or meninges
• Latent TB infection or TB disease
Antimicrobial resistance
• Multi-drug resistance (MDR)
◦ Resistance to at least isoniazid and rifampicin
• Extensive drug resistance (XDR)
◦ MDR plus resistance to a fluoroquinolone and an injectable antibiotic (amikacin, kanamycin,
or capreomycin)

Mycobacterium tuberculosis – Genetics
M. tuberculosis strains are highly clonal
• They have a nucleotide identity of 99.9%
• They display very little recombination
• The main mechanism of antimicrobial resistance is acquiring mutations affecting binding
pocket and drug-target interactions
