Current methods in the molecular typing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other mycobacteria. [PDF]

Biomed Res Int, 2014
In the epidemiology of tuberculosis (TB) and nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) diseases, as in all infectious diseases, the key issue is to define the source of infection and to disclose its routes of transmission and dissemination in the environment. For this to be accomplished, the ability of discerning and tracking individualMycobacteriumstrains is

Methodological and Clinical Aspects of the Molecular Epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Other Mycobacteria. [PDF]

Clin Microbiol Rev, 2016
SUMMARY Molecular typing has revolutionized epidemiological studies of infectious diseases, including those of a mycobacterial etiology. With the advent of fingerprinting techniques, many traditional concepts regarding transmission, infectivity, or pathogenicity of mycobacterial bacilli have been revisited, and their conventional

Pulmonary Nontuberculous Mycobacteria, Ontario, Canada, 2020

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023
We measured annual prevalence of microbiologically defined nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease in Ontario, Canada. Mycobacterium avium prevalence was 13 cases/100,000 persons in 2020, a 2.5-fold increase from 2010, indicating a large increase in ...

Trends in Untreated Tuberculosis in Large Municipalities, Brazil, 2008–2017

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021
We adapted a mathematical modeling approach to estimate tuberculosis (TB) incidence and fraction treated for 101 municipalities of Brazil during 2008–2017. We found the average TB incidence rate decreased annually (0.95%), and fraction treated increased (

Tuberculosis in Lemurs and a Fossa at National Zoo, Madagascar, 2022

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023
We diagnosed Mycobacterium tuberculosis in captive lemurs and a fossa in Antananarivo, Madagascar. We noted clinical signs in the animals and found characteristic lesions during necropsy. The source of infection remains unknown.

Uniting for Ukraine Tuberculosis Screening Experience, San Francisco, California, USA

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023
Ukraine surveillance data suggest high tuberculosis (TB) incidence, including multidrug resistance. Of 299 newcomers from Ukraine screened in San Francisco, California, USA, by using an interferon-γ-release-assay (IGRA) and chest radiograph, 7.4% were ...

Mycobacteria other than tuberculosis – prevalence, symptoms, diagnostics and treatment

Pomeranian Journal of Life Sciences, 2023
As a class of bacteria, mycobacteria other than tuberculosis (MOTT), also known as nontuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM), affect both immunocompetents and immunodeficients. Non-specific clinical symptoms caused by these bacteria include respiratory diseases, which often results in delayed diagnosis.

Optimisation of bioluminescent reporters for use with mycobacteria [PDF]

, 2010
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, still represents a major public health threat in many countries. Bioluminescence, the production of light by luciferase-catalyzed reactions, is a versatile reporter technology with multiple

Increasing Prevalence of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria in Respiratory Specimens from US-Affiliated Pacific Island Jurisdictions

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) respiratory infections represent a growing public health problem in many countries. However, there are limited published epidemiologic studies for the Western Pacific region.
