Reproducibility of 15-Loci MIRU-VNTR Method in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Genotyping

Jundishapur Journal of Microbiology, 2019
Background: Mycobacterium tuberculosis genotyping is an essential step for understanding the epidemiology of tuberculosis. Mycobacterial-interspersed-repetitive-units (MIRU)-variable-number-of-tandem-repeats (VNTR) typing is an important method for this purpose.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Next‐Generation Whole Genome Sequencing: Opportunities and Challenges

Tuberculosis Research and Treatment, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug resistance is a threat to global tuberculosis (TB) control. Comprehensive and timely drug susceptibility determination is critical to inform appropriate treatment of drug‐resistant tuberculosis (DR‐TB). Phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (DST) is the gold standard for M. tuberculosis drug resistance determination. M.

Optimized molecular resolution of cross-contamination alerts in clinical mycobacteriology laboratories

BMC Microbiology, 2008
Background The phenomenon of misdiagnosing tuberculosis (TB) by laboratory cross-contamination when culturing Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) has been widely reported and it has an obvious clinical, therapeutic and social impact.

A Multinational Analysis of Mutations and Heterogeneity in PZase, RpsA, and PanD Associated with Pyrazinamide Resistance in M/XDR Mycobacterium tuberculosis. [PDF]

, 2017
Pyrazinamide (PZA) is an important first-line drug in all existing and new tuberculosis (TB) treatment regimens. PZA-resistance in M. tuberculosis is increasing, especially among M/XDR cases.

Synchronous Comparison of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Epidemiology Strains by "MIRU-VNTR" and "MIRU-VNTR and Spoligotyping" Technique.

Avicenna journal of medical biotechnology, 2013
Molecular epidemiology analyses are frequently used in determining epidemiology of tuberculosis. Recently, Mycobacterial Interspersed Repetitive Unit Variable Number Tandem Repeat (MIRU-VNTR) and Spoligotyping has become an important method, as it allows high-through put, discriminatory and reproducible analysis of clinical isolate. The purpose of this

Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Genotyping Using MIRU-VNTR Typing

Journal of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, 2017
Background and purpose: Tuberculosis is among the leading causes of death from infectious diseases in the world. According to World Health Organization (WHO), the estimated rate of TB in Iran was 21 per 100,000 populations in 2015. The present study was designed to evaluate the genetic diversity and transmission dynamics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ...

Genotyping and drug susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Iran: a multi-centre study

New Microbes and New Infections, 2020
Tuberculosis (TB) is a deadly infection and caused 1.4 million deaths in 2018. Assessing the geographic distribution of major lineages of Mycobacterium tuberculosis can contribute greatly to TB control. Mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit variable

Genotyping of ClinicalMycobacterium tuberculosisIsolates Based on IS6110and MIRU-VNTR Polymorphisms [PDF]

BioMed Research International, 2013
In this study, 155 clinicalMycobacterium tuberculosisisolates were subject to genotyping with fast ligation-mediated PCR (FLiP). This typing method is a modified mixed-linker PCR, a rapid approach based on the PCR amplification ofHhaI restriction fragments of genomic DNA containing the 3′ end of IS6110and resolving the amplicons by polyacrylamide gel ...

Dynamics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Lineages in Oman, 2009 to 2018

Pathogens, 2022
Study aim. Effective Tuberculosis (TB) control measures in Oman have reduced the annual incidence of tuberculosis cases by 92% between 1981 and 2016. However, the current incidence remains above the program control target of

Wild boar tuberculosis in Iberian Atlantic Spain: a different picture from Mediterranean habitats [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND Infections with Mycobacterium bovis and closely related members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) are shared between livestock, wildlife and sporadically human beings. Wildlife reservoirs exist worldwide and can interfere with
