Abstract

The Beijing family is widely distributed and is the most common strain in East Asia. The highly transmissible and predominant Beijing strain in Korea, K1, was characterized using an aerobic challenge mouse model and a latent tuberculosis model with H37Rv as a reference. K1 multiplied over ten times more rapidly than H37Rv during the early stage of infection and induced high levels of histopathology in the lung. Low levels of T helper cell (Th) Th1 [interferon (IFN)-γ, interleukin (IL)-12p40] and Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-10) were induced in the lungs of K1-infected mice. In the latent model, mice infected with K1 exhibited more frequent relapse from the latent state than did mice infected with H37Rv. In conclusion, K1, a prevalent Beijing strain in Korea, is expected to spread due to its rapid growth during the early stages of infection, low-level induction of the immune response and high relapse rates from a latent state.
