SpoTyping: fast and accurate in silico Mycobacterium spoligotyping from sequence reads [PDF]

Genome Medicine, 2016
SpoTyping is a fast and accurate program for in silico spoligotyping of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from next-generation sequencing reads. This novel method achieves high accuracy for reads of both uniform and varying lengths, and is about 20 to 40 times faster than SpolPred.

The inhibition of neutrophil antibacterial activity by ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene particles.

, 2005
Following infection, bacterial killing by polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) is the main host defense against bacteria. Our hypothesis is that particles of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWP) may impair local neutrophil function and ...

Spoligotyping of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates using Luminex®-based method in Lebanon

The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2020
Introduction: Data about the genotypes of circulating Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates (MTB) in Lebanon are scarce. This study was undertaken to reveal the spoligotypes of MTB isolates recovered from patients in Lebanon. Methodology: MTB isolates from 49 patients living in Lebanon were recovered and identified. The samples were heat killed and

Tuberculosis in Swiss captive Asian elephants: microevolution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis characterized by multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis and whole-genome sequencingle-number tandem-repeat analysis and whole-genome sequencing [PDF]

, 2017
Zoonotic tuberculosis is a risk for human health, especially when animals are in close contact with humans. Mycobacterium tuberculosis was cultured from several organs, including lung tissue and gastric mucosa, of three captive elephants euthanized in a ...
