The shortcut of mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat typing for Mycobacterium tuberculosis differentiation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The 24-loci mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat (MIRU-VNTR) genotyping has been used as an international standard method for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) genotyping. However, different optimized VNTR loci sets for

Diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Lineages Associated with Pulmonary Tuberculosis in Southwestern, Uganda

Tuberculosis Research and Treatment, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Uganda is among the 22 countries in the world with a high burden of tuberculosis. The southwestern region of the country has consistently registered a high TB/HIV incidence rate. This study is aimed at characterizing the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) genotypic diversity in southwestern Uganda.

MIRU-VNTR allelic variability depends on Mycobacterium bovis clonal group identity [PDF]

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2016
The description of the population of M. bovis strains circulating in France from 1978 to 2013 has highlighted the discriminating power of the MLVA among predominant spoligotype groups. In the present study we aimed to characterize clonal groups via MLVA and to better understand the strain's population structure.

Bioinformatic Analysis of MIRU-VNTR Repeats of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Strains from Lagos, Nigeria [PDF]

, 2021
The analysis of Mycobacterial Interpersed Repetitive Unit-Variable Number of Tandem Repeat (MIRU-VNTR) discriminates against the species of M. tuberculosis involved in the transmission of the disease. The reference method is the manual method. Our study involved developing a bioinformatics method of interpreting MIRU-VNTR and comparing it to the manual

Local adaptive evolution of two distinct clades of Beijing and T families of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Chongqing: a Bayesian population structure and phylogenetic study

Infectious Diseases of Poverty, 2020
Background Beijing sub-pedigree 2 (BSP2) and T sub-lineage 6 (TSL6) are two clades belonging to Beijing and T family of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), respectively, defined by Bayesian population structure analysis based on 24-loci mycobacterial ...

Genetic diversity of Mycobacterium avium complex strains isolated in Argentina by MIRU-VNTR. [PDF]

Epidemiol Infect, 2017
SUMMARYMycobacterium aviumsp.avium(MAA),M. aviumsp.hominissuis(MAH), andM. aviumsp.paratuberculosis(MAP) are the main members of theM. aviumcomplex (MAC) causing diseases in several hosts. The aim of this study was to describe the genetic diversity of MAC isolated from different hosts.

Protection efficacy of Argentinian isolates of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis with different genotypes and virulence in a murine model [PDF]

, 2018
Paratuberculosis is a chronic disease caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map). The disease causes economic losses and, therefore, it is imperative to follow proper control strategies, which should include an effective vaccine. Several
