Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleGenetic 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 · 7,159 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleMycobacterium 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 · 6,667 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIsolation Rate and Species Distribution of Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria From 2014-2021Tae Soung Kim, Ga Yeon Kim, Young Ki Lee, Jae Kyung KimIn Korea, the incidence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections has decreased; however, the incidence of lung diseases attributed to Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) is increasing. This study aimed to elucidate the isolation rate and distribution of NTM recently isolated at a Korean test center. Respiratory samples for acid-fast bacilli culture collected between January 2014 and December 2021 at a test center in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 13 Nov 2023 · 4,983 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe European Wild Boar (Sus scrofa) as a Reservoir of Tuberculosis: Ecological Drivers and Management ImplicationsGiovanna Liguori, Renato Lombardi, Fabio Castagna et al.Bovine tuberculosis (bTB), an infectious disease primarily caused by Mycobacterium bovis and other members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, represents a significant challenge to both animal and public health. Despite successful control programs in numerous regions, the presence of wildlife reservoirs, notably wild boar (Sus scrofa), impedes complete eradication and sustains disease propagation. bTB prevalence varies across Europe, with higher … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 16 Nov 2025 · 2,621 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVirtual Screening of CPP Conjugated Peptide as QcrB BCC Protein Inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis BacteriaMuhammad Ihsan Muttaqin, Manaman Huang, Usman Sumo Friend TambunanTuberculosis is a global leading cause of death, just below COVID-19 and ranked above HIV. This disease is caused by a pathogen called Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which spreads easily through the air and is known to remain latent in most people's bodies, about a quarter of the world's population. The current problems with TB also include two main concerns: The official … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 3 · 14 Mar 2024 · 5,518 accessesView PDF Cite
