Spoligotyping and Mycobacterium 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 ...

Spoligotyping of Mycobacterium africanum, Burkina Faso
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012 Using Ziehl-Neelsen–positive slides collected from tuberculosis diagnostic centers in Burkina Faso, we showed that 20% of 80 spoligotyping-positive DNA samples had a characteristic Mycobacterium africanum–specific genomic signature.

Comparative Mycobacterium tuberculosis Spoligotype Distribution in Mexico [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2014 ABSTRACT In the present work, we studied the genetic diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates from patients according to their gender, age, and geographic location in Mexico. We did not observe any statistically significant differences in regard to age or gender.

Spoligotyping of Mycobacterium tuberculosis – Comparing in vitro and in silico approaches
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2023 Spoligotyping is one of the molecular typing methods widely used for exploring the genetic variety of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The aim of this study was to compare the spoligoprofiles of M. tuberculosis clinical isolates, obtained using in vitro and in silico approaches. The study included 230 M.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Spoligotypes in Monterrey, Mexico [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2010 ABSTRACT Although tuberculosis is still a public health problem in Mexico, there is little information about the genetic characteristics of the isolates. In the present study, we analyzed by spoligotyping 180 Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates from the urban area of Monterrey, Mexico, including ...

Typing of mycobacteria using spoligotyping [PDF]
Thorax, 1998 The potential use of spoligotyping—a polymerase chain reaction based typing system for differentiation of strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis —for studying the epidemiology of tuberculosis in developing countries which do not routinely perform mycobacterial culture is described in this issue of Thorax by Heyderman et al in a study from Zimbabwe.1 How

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 1, Issue 2, September‐December 2023., 2023 Abstract Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is a technique used to determine the complete DNA sequence of an organism's genome. In the context of bacterial pathogens, such as the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis (Mycobacterium bovis), WGS offers insights into the nucleotide sequence variations that arise due to mutations during bacterial replication ...
