Antibiotic resistance prediction for Mycobacterium tuberculosis from genome sequence data with Mykrobe.
a new software implementation. Improvements include i) an updated mutation catalogue giving greater sensitivity to detect pyrazinamide resistance, ii) support for user-defined resistance catalogues, iii) ...
Strong increase of true and false positive mycobacterial cultures sent to the National Reference Centre in Belgium, 2007 to 2016.
observational study investigated the numbers of analyses at the NRC and false positive cultures (interpreted as containing mycobacteria at referring clinical laboratories, but with no mycobacterial DNA detected ...
Molecular epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex in Brussels, 2010-2013.
most prevalent TB lineages circulating in Brussels. Analysis of the MDR subgroup showed an association with Beijing strains (39.9%) and patients native of Eastern Europe (40.7%). Genotyping detected 113 ...
RNA-based drug susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
in resistant, microbes within a few hours. This has the advantage that long culture-dependent steps are avoided, yet the resistance phenotype is detected independent of the specific cause ...
