Dehalogenation of Haloalkanes byMycobacterium tuberculosisH37Rv and Other Mycobacteria [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2000
ABSTRACTHaloalkane dehalogenases convert haloalkanes to their corresponding alcohols by a hydrolytic mechanism. To date, various haloalkane dehalogenases have been isolated from bacteria colonizing environments that are contaminated with halogenated compounds.

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.

Increasing Incidence of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria, Taiwan, 2000–2008

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
To assess the species distribution and epidemiologic trends of nontuberculous mycobacteria, we examined isolates from patients in Taiwan. During 2000–2008, the proportion increased significantly from 32.3% to 49.8%. Associated disease incidence increased

Population-Based Geospatial and Molecular Epidemiologic Study of Tuberculosis Transmission Dynamics, Botswana, 2012–2016

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021
Tuberculosis (TB) elimination requires interrupting transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We used a multidisciplinary approach to describe TB transmission in 2 sociodemographically distinct districts in Botswana (Kopanyo Study).

Genomic Profiling of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Strains, Myanmar

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021
Multidrug resistance is a major threat to global elimination of tuberculosis (TB). We performed phenotypic drug-susceptibility testing and whole-genome sequencing for 309 isolates from 342 consecutive patients who were given a diagnosis of TB in Yangon ...

Epidemiology of Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Infection, South Korea, 2007–2016

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
The prevalence and incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections increased in South Korea from 2007 to 2016. Annual prevalence of NTM infection increased to 39.6 cases/100,000 population in 2016 and annual incidence to 19.0 cases/100,000 ...

Pyrolysis Mass Spectrometry: A New Method to Differentiate Between the Mycobacteria of the "Tuberculosis Complex" and Other Mycobacteria [PDF]

Microbiology, 1981
Pyrolysis mass spectrometry (p.m.s.) was applied to differentiate 91 coded mycobacteria as belonging to either the 'tuberculosis complex' (M. tuberculosis, M. bovis and M. bovis BCG) or to other species of Mycobacterium. Strains were analysed in batches; in each batch three strains each of M. tuberculosis, M. bovis and M.

Tuberculosis Outbreak in a Primary School, Milan, Italy

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
Investigation of an outbreak of tuberculosis (TB) in a primary school in Milan, Italy, found 15 schoolchildren had active TB disease and 173 had latent TB infection. TB was also identified in 2 homeless men near the school. Diagnostic delay, particularly
