Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing Genotype, the Netherlands

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
To determine whether the Beijing genotype of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is emerging in the Netherlands, we collected data on 6,829 patients during 1993 to 2000. Six percent had the Beijing genotype.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing Genotype Emerging in Vietnam [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2000
To assess whether the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing genotype is emerging in Vietnam, we analyzed 563 isolates from new cases by spoligotyping and examined the association between the genotype and age, resistance, and BCG vaccination status.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing Genotype Strains Associated with Febrile Response to Treatment [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2001
DNA fingerprinting has demonstrated predominance of the Beijing genotype among Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains isolated in Southeast Asia. We prospectively examined the occurrence of Beijing genotype strains in tuberculosis patients in Indonesia ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing genotype resistance to transient rifampin exposure. [PDF]

Emerg Infect Dis, 2014
To the Editor: We read with interest the discussion between de Steenwinkel et al. and Werngren (1) regarding the high mutation frequencies de Steenwinkel et al. reported for some Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains (2). We investigated the effect of rifampin exposure on the growth of these strains in detail.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing genotype is associated with HIV infection in Mozambique. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2013
The Beijing genotype is a lineage of Mycobacterium tuberculosis that is distributed worldwide and responsible for large epidemics, associated with multidrug-resistance. However, its distribution in Africa is less understood due to the lack of data. Our aim was to investigate the prevalence and possible transmission of Beijing strains in Mozambique by a
