Characteristics of drug-resistant tuberculosis in Abkhazia (Georgia), a high-prevalence area in Eastern Europe [PDF]

, 2009
Although multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis (TB) is a major public health problem in Eastern Europe, the factors contributing to emergence, spread and containment of MDR-TB are not well defined. Here, we analysed the characteristics of drug-resistant

Tuberculosis transmission in the population of patients from the Krakow Region (Poland) based on the epidemiological and molecular methods

International Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2019
Background: The transmission of tuberculosis may affect the incidence rate of the disease in Poland. Genetic methods are of assistance in tracing the infection transmission, identifying its sources, determining the risk groups, and focusing on the ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis lineage: a naming of the parts [PDF]

, 2005
There have been many reports of groups of related Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains described variously as lineages, families or clades. There is no objective definition of these groupings making it impossible to define relationships between those ...

Investigating the Diversity of Tuberculosis Spoligotypes with Dimensionality Reduction and Graph Theory

Genes, 2022
The spoligotype is a graphical description of the CRISPR locus present in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which has the particularity of having only 68 possible spacers. This spoligotype, which can be easily obtained either in vitro or in silico, allows to have a summary information of lineage or even antibiotic resistance (when known to be associated to a

embCAB Sequence Variation Among Ethambutol-Resistant Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Isolates Without embB306 Mutation [PDF]

, 2010
Mechanisms of resistance to ethambutol in Mycobacterium tuberculosis remain inadequately described. Although there is mounting evidence that mutations of codon 306 in embB play a key role, a significant number of phenotypically ethambutol-resistant ...

Mycobacterium bovisin Swine: Spoligotyping of Isolates from Argentina [PDF]

Veterinary Medicine International, 2011
A total of 143Mycobacterium bovisisolates of pigs, from the most productive swine area in Argentina, were typed by spoligotyping. Twenty-two different spoligotypes were identified, and 133 (93%) isolates were grouped into 12 clusters. One of them, designed SB0140, was the most frequent because it held 83 (58%) isolates.
