Anti-Mycobacterial Drug Resistance in Japan: How to Approach This Problem?

Antibiotics, 2021
Mycobacteriosis is mainly caused by two groups of species: Mycobacterium tuberculosis and non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM). The pathogens cause not only respiratory infections, but also general diseases.

Potential Cross-Transmission of Mycobacterium abscessus among Non-Cystic Fibrosis Patients at a Tertiary Hospital in Japan

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Mycobacterium abscessus (M. abscessus) is a highly antimicrobial-resistant pathogen that causes refractory pulmonary disease. Recently, the possibility of M. abscessus cross-transmission among cystic fibrosis (CF) patients has been reported.

Spoligotyping andMycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
We evaluated the clinical usefulness of spoligotyping, a polymerase chain reaction-based method for simultaneous detection and typing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains, with acid-fast bacilli-positive slides from clinical specimens or mycobacterial cultures. Overall sensitivity and specificity were 97% and 95% for the detection of M.

Molecular Epidemiological Characteristics of Mycobacterium abscessus Complex Derived from Non-Cystic Fibrosis Patients in Japan and Taiwan

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABC) is a group of emerging, highly antimicrobial-resistant non-tuberculous mycobacteria. Specific MABC clones are spreading globally in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF); however, associated genomic epidemiology is ...
