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.

Trends in the incidence of Rifampicin resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in northeastern Nigeria

Scientific African, 2022
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a respiratory bacterial pathogen that causes Tuberculosis. About one-quarter of the global population is infected, most of which are asymptomatic with a 5–15% risk of developing active disease across their lifespan.
