Abstract Mycobacterium (M.) bovis can infect cats and is a demonstrated zoonosis. We describe an outbreak of M. bovis in pet cats across England and Scotland associated with feeding a commercial raw food diet. Forty‐seven cats presented with (pyo)granulomatous lesions, lymphadenopathy, pulmonary and/or alimentary disease over a one‐year period where M.

Predominant Tuberculosis Spoligotypes, Delhi, India
One hundred five Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates from the Delhi area were typed by spoligotyping; 45 patterns were identified. Comparison with an international spoligotype database showed type 26, Delhi type (22%), type 54 (12%), and type 1, Beijing type (8%), as the most common.

Discriminatory ability of hypervariable variable number tandem repeat loci in population-based analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains, London, UK [PDF]
To address conflicting results about the stability of variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) loci and their value in prospective molecular epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, we conducted a large prospective population-based analysis of all M ...

Molecular-genetic analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains spread in different patient groups in St.Petersburg (Russia) [PDF]
Molecular epidemiological features of M.tuberculosis strains spread among different patient groups in Russia is not studied well. The aim of our study was to compare genotypes of M.tuberculosis strains circulating among TB patients from different groups:

The Significance of Spoligotyping Method in Epidemiological Investigations of Tuberculosis
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.

Population Dynamics of Tuberculous Bacilli in Cameroon as Assessed by Spoligotyping [PDF]
ABSTRACT Genetic assessment by spoligotyping of 565 Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex strains collected from the Western Region of Cameroon between 2004 and 2005 has confirmed the establishment of the “Cameroon family” as the leading cause of tuberculosis in 45.9% of cases and evidenced the rapid quasi ...
