MIRUReader: MIRU-VNTR typing directly from long sequencing reads [PDF]

Bioinformatics, 2019
Abstract Summary Mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat (MIRU-VNTR) typing is widely used to genotype Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex in epidemiological studies for tracking tuberculosis transmission.

Bacteremia tuberculosis among HIV‐negative children in China

Pediatric Investigation, Volume 6, Issue 3, Page 197-206, September 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT Importance Bacteremia tuberculosis (TB) is a severe form of extrapulmonary TB. Studies assessing bacteremia TB in children are limited, especially for HIV‐negative children. Objective To explore the detailed clinical features of the bacteremia TB in children under 18 years of age.

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae membrane protein Mhp271 interacts with host UPR protein GRP78 to facilitate infection

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 118, Issue 3, Page 208-222, September 2022., 2022
Our previous study described a novel virulence mechanism of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae that inhibits the host UPR to facilitate bacterial adherence and infection. The bacterial factors and mechanisms underlying this UPR modulation are unknown. Here we find that Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae membrane protein Mhp271 directly interacts with the host GRP78 (a ...

Clinical outcome and diagnostic methods of atypical mycobacteriosis due to Mycobacterium avium ssp. hominissuis in a group of captive lowland tapirs (Tapirus terrestris)

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 1305-1313, May 2021., 2021
Abstract Tapirs seem particularly susceptible to mycobacterial infections, especially to tuberculosis caused by M. tuberculosis or M. bovis. In this case series, we report an infection with the non‐tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species M. avium ssp. hominissuis (MAH) in a group of four (2.2) captive lowland tapirs (Tapirus terrestris).

MIRU-VNTR typing of drug-resistant tuberculosis isolates in Greece [PDF]

Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, 2011
The increasing immigration rate in Greece from countries with a high prevalence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) may have an impact οn the number of MDR-TB cases in Greece. The aim of this study was to genotypically characterize the MTB isolates from patients with pulmonary drug-resistant tuberculosis ...

Phylogenetic relationships investigation of Mycobacterium caprae strains from sympatric wild boar and goats based on whole genome sequencing

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 1476-1486, May 2021., 2021
Abstract Tuberculosis (TB) in wildlife challenges epidemiological surveillance and disease control. An outbreak of TB was detected in a free‐ranging wild boar population of a Natural Park in Catalonia (Spain) and the outbreak investigation was conducted in the area.

Mycobacterial infections in wild boars (Sus scrofa) from Southern Switzerland: Diagnostic improvements, epidemiological situation and zoonotic potential

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 573-586, March 2021., 2021
Abstract The occurrence of mycobacterial infections in different hosts and their implication as obligate or opportunistic pathogens remain mainly unclear. In addition to the well‐known pathogenic members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis – complex (MTBC), over 180 non‐tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species have been described.

Genetic diversity of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates from Khuzestan province, Iran

AMB Express, 2022
The emergence of drug-resistant strains of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) has challenged tuberculosis control programs. So far, few studies using the 24-locus mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit variable number tandem repeats (MIRU-VNTR ...

A case of early neonate bovine tuberculosis in Ethiopia

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 487-490, January 2021., 2021
This report illustrates that calves may be infected with bovine tuberculosis at early age under natural conditions and progression can be rapid. Thus, testing of calves needs to be considered in any control program to reduce the risk of transmission.
