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 ...
A cluster of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis among patients arriving in Europe from the Horn of Africa: a molecular epidemiological study.
and Sudan. METHODS: On April 29 and May 30, 2016, the Swiss and German National Mycobacterial Reference Laboratories independently triggered an outbreak investigation after four patients were diagnosed with ...
Molecular epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex in Brussels, 2010-2013.
years after the realization of initial prospective population-based molecular epidemiology investigations in this Region, a similar study over the period 2010-2013 was conducted. TB strains isolated from ...
MALDI-TOF for the identification of Mycobacteria and their drug resistance profiles
Mycobacteria. 34 clinical M. tuberculosis isolates were investigated for their resistance profile to four different drugs (rifampicin, isoniazid, ethambutol and linezolid), yielding a 100% concordance to the ...
RNA-based drug susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Fisher) technology. The normalized expression levels are combined to one numeric value which determines the drug susceptibility of the investigated strain. Results We successfully developed 8 primary sets ...
Transcriptional profiling of Mycobacterium tuberculosis suggests respiratory poisoning upon exposure to delamanid
a pressure of the recently approved delamanid is investigated. Total RNA sequencing revealed that the response to this bicyclic nitroimidazole shows many similarities with pretomanid, an anti-tuberculous drug ...
