Multi‐drug resistance and compensatory mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Vietnam

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 5, Page 426-436, May 2025.
Abstract Background Vietnam is a hotspot for the emergence and spread of multidrug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This study aimed to perform a retrospective study on the compensatory evolution in multidrug‐resistant M. tuberculosis strains and the association with drug‐resistant mutations and M. tuberculosis genotypes.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Lineage Distribution Using Whole‐Genome Sequencing and Bedaquiline, Clofazimine, and Linezolid Phenotypic Profiles among Rifampicin‐Resistant Isolates from West Java, Indonesia

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Indonesia is ranked second in the world for TB cases. New anti‐TB drugs from groups A and B, such as bedaquiline, clofazimine, and linezolid, have been shown to be effective in curing drug resistance in TB patients, and Indonesia is already using these drugs to treat patients. However,

A Clinical TB Detection Method Based on Molecular Typing Technique with Quality Control

Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
The gold standard for diagnosing pulmonary Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) is the detection of tubercle bacillus in patient sputum samples. However, current methods either require long waiting times to culture the bacteria or have a risk of getting false‐positive results due to cross‐contamination.
