The factors that govern the development of tuberculosis disease are incompletely understood. We hypothesized that some strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) are more capable of causing disseminated disease than others and may be associated with polymorphisms in host genes responsible for the innate immune response to infection. We compared the host and bacterial genotype in 187 Vietnamese adults with tuberculous meningitis (TBM) and 237 Vietnamese adults with uncomplicated pulmonary tuberculosis. The host genotype of tuberculosis cases was also compared with the genotype of 392 cord blood controls from the same population. Isolates of M. tuberculosis were genotyped by large sequence polymorphisms. The hosts were defined by polymorphisms in genes encoding Toll-interleukin 1 receptor domain containing adaptor protein (TIRAP) and Toll-like receptor-2 (TLR-2). We found a significant protective association between the Euro-American lineage of M. tuberculosis and pulmonary rather than meningeal tuberculosis (Odds ratio (OR) for causing TBM 0.395, 95% confidence intervals (C.I.) 0.193–0.806, P = 0.009), suggesting these strains are less capable of extra-pulmonary dissemination than others in the study population. We also found that individuals with the C allele of TLR-2 T597C allele were more likely to have tuberculosis caused by the East-Asian/Beijing genotype (OR = 1.57 [95% C.I. 1.15–2.15]) than other individuals. The study provides evidence that M. tuberculosis genotype influences clinical disease phenotype and demonstrates, for the first time, a significant interaction between host and bacterial genotypes and the development of tuberculosis. Tuberculosis, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, kills over 2 million people each year. It is estimated that approximately one-third of the world population is infected with M. tuberculosis, though the majority will never develop active disease. The most severe form of tuberculosis occurs when the bacterium spreads to the brain to cause meningitis. We examined whether the genetic variation of the person and the bacteria influenced the type of disease a person develops. We have previously shown that certain mutations in genes of the human immune system can predispose adults in Vietnam to developing tuberculous meningitis. In this study we show that some strains of M. tuberculosis commonly found in Europe and America are less likely to cause tuberculous meningitis in Vietnamese adults than strains predominantly found in Asia. We then looked at the interaction between M. tuberculosis strains and mutations in human immune genes and show that a particular mutation, TLR2 T597C, is more commonly found in patients infected with the East-Asian/Beijing strains of M. tuberculosis. This is the first study to look at both the host and pathogen genotypes together in tuberculosis infection, and the findings suggest that the outcome of exposure to M. tuberculosis can depend on both the human genotype and the bacterial genotype.
