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

Can biosecurity on farms reduce bovine tuberculosis risks in cattle in England? A review of observational and literature‐based evidence

Veterinary Record, Volume 196, Issue 1, 4/11 January 2025.
Abstract Background Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is a burden to cattle farming in Great Britain. Poor biosecurity has been identified as contributing to the epidemic. Methods We conducted a systematic review of epidemiological studies published in the scientific literature between 1921 and 2024 that measured the association between farm biosecurity and ...

Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats in Xanthomonas citri—Witnesses to a Global Expansion of a Bacterial Pathogen over Time

Microorganisms, 2022
Xanthomonas citri pv. citri, a Gram-negative bacterium, is the causal agent of citrus canker, a significant threat to citrus production. Understanding of global expansion of the pathogen and monitoring introduction into new regions are of interest for ...

Epidemiological Profile and rpoB Gene Mutations in Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients From Sulaymaniyah, Iraq: Evidence of Novel Genetic Variations and Beijing Lineage Emergence

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains a significant global public health concern, including in Iraq. This study investigated the epidemiology, molecular characteristics, and rifampicin resistance–associated mutations of pulmonary TB in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq, from May 2024 to May 2025.

Mycobacterium bovis Infection in Holstein Friesian Cattle, Iran

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
To identify strains of Mycobacterium bovis circulating in Iran, we used region of difference, spoligotypes, and variable number tandem repeats to genotype 132 M. bovis isolates from Holstein Friesian cattle.

Comparison of in silico predicted Mycobacterium tuberculosis spoligotypes and lineages from whole genome sequencing data

Scientific Reports, 2023
Bacterial strain-types in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex underlie tuberculosis disease, and have been associated with drug resistance, transmissibility, virulence, and host–pathogen interactions.

Long‐Term Residual Infection as a Source of Bovine Tuberculosis Reemergence: A Phylogenetic and Epidemiological Investigation of Recurrent Outbreaks

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Bovine tuberculosis (TB), primarily caused by Mycobacterium bovis, is a chronic infectious disease of cattle with significant public health and economic implications due to its zoonotic potential and impact on livestock productivity. The control of the disease is hindered by complex epidemiological dynamics and the chronic, and often slow‐progressing ...

Molecular epidemiology of cattle tuberculosis in Mexico through whole-genome sequencing and spoligotyping. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Mycobacterium bovis infection in cattle persists in Mexico, posing a threat to human health. Control of bovine tuberculosis, through the National Program Against Bovine Tuberculosis, has led to the decrease of disease prevalence in most of the country ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Lineage Distribution Using Whole‐Genome Sequencing and Bedaquiline, Clofazimine, and Linezolid Phenotypic Profiles among Rifampicin‐Resistant Isolates from West Java, Indonesia

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Indonesia is ranked second in the world for TB cases. New anti‐TB drugs from groups A and B, such as bedaquiline, clofazimine, and linezolid, have been shown to be effective in curing drug resistance in TB patients, and Indonesia is already using these drugs to treat patients. However,
