Use of Spoligotyping for Accurate Classification of Recurrent Tuberculosis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2002
ABSTRACT The spoligotyping method has become an important tool for the tracking of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains in different epidemiological settings. In this study, we demonstrate the ability of the spoligotyping technique to accurately determine the pathogenetic mechanism of recurrent disease. This

TB or not TB? Definitive determination of species within the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex in unprocessed sputum from adults with presumed multidrug‐resistant tuberculosis

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 26, Issue 9, Page 1057-1067, September 2021., 2021
Abstract Objectives Differences among Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) species may predict drug resistance or treatment success. Thus, we optimised and deployed the genotype MTBC assay (gMTBC) to identify MTC to the species level, and then performed comparative genotypic drug‐susceptibility testing to anti‐tuberculosis drugs from direct sputum ...

Characterization of Finnish Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates by Spoligotyping [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2003
ABSTRACT The molecular epidemiology of tuberculosis (TB) in Finland was studied by spoligotyping 380 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates. The isolates were obtained during a 1-year study period from July 2000 to June 2001 and represented 90% of new M.

Genotypic characterization directly applied to sputum improves the detection of Mycobacterium africanum West African 1, under-represented in positive cultures.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
BackgroundThis study aimed to compare the prevalence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBc) lineages between direct genotyping (on sputum) and indirect genotyping (on culture), to characterize potential culture bias against difficult growers ...
