Molecular epidemiology and drug susceptibility profiles of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates from Northern Ghana

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2021
Objective: We conducted a cross-sectional study in the five administrative regions of Northern Ghana to determine the diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) sub/lineages and their susceptibility to isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RIF ...

Molecular analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA from a family of 18th century Hungarians [PDF]

, 2003
The naturally mummified remains of a mother and two daughters found in an 18th century Hungarian crypt were analysed, using multiple molecular genetic techniques to examine the epidemiology and evolution of tuberculosis.

Prevention of urinary tract infection in spinal cord-injured patients: safety and efficacy of a weekly oral cyclic antibiotic (WOCA) programme with a 2 year follow-up--an observational prospective study.

, 2006
POPULATION: Spinal cord injury (SCI) patients with neurogenic bladder have an increased risk for symptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI). Recurrent UTI requires multiple courses of antibiotic therapy, markedly increasing the incidence of multidrug ...

The Significance of Spoligotyping Method in Epidemiological Investigations of Tuberculosis

Advances in Respiratory Medicine, 2007
Introduction: The control of tuberculosis (TB) requires methods for rapid detection and tracing sources of infection, so that further transmission can be arrested. Recent developments in molecular biology have resulted in techniques that allow prompt identification and tracking specific strains of M.

Molecular epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates in Iran using spoligotyping

New Microbes and New Infections, 2020
Spoligotyping can help assess the transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. We aimed to study the genotyping of M. tuberculosis isolated from patients with tuberculosis from the west of Iran by spoligotyping. Forty-seven M. tuberculosis isolates were collected from the west of Iran.

Molecular typing methods used in studies of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Iran: a systematic review

Iranian Journal of Microbiology, 2016
Background and Objectives: Molecular typing methods are important and useful tools to assess the transmission, diversity of strains and differentiation between new infections and relapses which can effectively help in controlling infections.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing Genotype Emerging in Vietnam

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2000
To assess whether the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing genotype is emerging in Vietnam, we analyzed 563 isolates from new cases by spoligotyping and examined the association between the genotype and age, resistance, and BCG vaccination status.

Clustering ofMycobacterium tuberculosisCases in Acapulco: Spoligotyping and Risk Factors

Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2011
Recurrence and reinfection of tuberculosis have quite different implications for prevention. We identified 267 spoligotypes ofMycobacterium tuberculosisfrom consecutive tuberculosis patients in Acapulco, Mexico, to assess the level of clustering and risk factors for clustered strains. Point cluster analysis examined spatial clustering.

Spoligotyping of m. tuberculosis strains from cattle in turkey

Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi, 2015
Although it is generally accepted that M.bovis leads to tuberculosis in cattle, there are statements given from the different regions of the world, referring to the fact that M. tuberculosis, which is known as the human tuberculosis agent, causes tuberculosis in cattle as well. The material of the study consisted of 13 M.
