Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesMycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Mutations in Drug Resistant Clinical Isolates from Southwest MexicoMartínez-Cruz Perla Mónica, Nakamura-López Yuko, Quintero-Hernández Verónica et al.Mutations in target genes have been described in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex (MTBc) drug resistant isolates worldwide. In Mexico, not enough information has been reported in this concern. The aim of this study was to characterize mutations related to resistance to first line drugs in MTBc isolates from Oaxaca, Mexico. MTBc isolates were identified in clinical samples from Tuberculosis (TB) patients. … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2021 · 6,669 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesGenetic Diversity and Drug Resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Isolates and Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Identification from Presumptive Tuberculosis Cases in Oaxaca, MexicoNakamura-Lopez Yuko, Valencia-Carmona Oscar Daniel, Martinez-Cruz Perla Monica et al.Tuberculosis (TB) is a re-emerging health problem worldwide. In Mexico, information about genetic diversity and drug resistance of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis complex (MTBc) is limited. Samples from 463 Presumptive TB cases were tested for TB by smear, culture and PCR, from which 19.2% were identify as MTBc and 16% as nontuberculous mycobacteria. MTBc isolates were characterized by Large Sequence Polymorphisms (LSPs), … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 9 Feb 2020 · 7,164 accessesView PDF Cite
