Airway 'Resistotypes' and Clinical Outcomes in Bronchiectasis.
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine 2024 January 26
INTRODUCTION: Application of whole-genome shotgun metagenomics to the airway microbiome in bronchiectasis highlights a diverse pool of antimicrobial resistance genes: the 'resistome', the clinical significance of which remains unclear.
METHODS: Individuals with bronchiectasis were prospectively recruited into cross-sectional and longitudinal cohorts (n=280) including the international multicentre cross-sectional Cohort of Asian and Matched European Bronchiectasis 2 study (CAMEB 2; n=251) and two independent cohorts, one describing patients experiencing acute exacerbation and a further cohort of patients undergoing P. aeruginosa eradication treatment. Sputum was subjected to metagenomic sequencing and the bronchiectasis resistome evaluated in association with clinical outcomes and underlying host microbiomes.
RESULTS: The bronchiectasis resistome features a unique resistance gene profile and elevated counts of aminoglycoside, bicyclomycin, phenicol, triclosan and multi-drug resistance genes. Longitudinally, it exhibits within-patient stability over time and during exacerbations despite between-patient heterogeneity. Proportional differences in baseline resistome profiles including increased macrolide and multi-drug resistance genes associate with shorter intervals to next exacerbation, while distinct resistome archetypes associate with frequent exacerbations, poorer lung function, geographic origin, and the host microbiome. Unsupervised analysis of resistome profiles identified two clinically relevant 'resistotypes' RT1 and RT2, the latter characterized by poor clinical outcomes, increased multi-drug resistance and P. aeruginosa . Successful targeted eradication in P. aeruginosa -colonized individuals mediated reversion from RT2 to RT1, a more clinically favourable resistome profile demonstrating reduced resistance gene diversity.
CONCLUSION: The bronchiectasis resistome associates with clinical outcomes, geographic origin, and the underlying host microbiome. Bronchiectasis 'resistotypes' link to clinical disease and are modifiable through targeted antimicrobial therapy.
