Multicentre study on the reproducibility of MALDI-TOF MS for nontuberculous mycobacteria identification.

extraction procedures. Few multicentre studies on the reproducibility of MALDI- TOF have been performed so far, none on mycobacteria. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproducibility of MALDI- TOF for ...

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 ...

Evaluation of Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria identification with maldi-tof mass spectrometry by applying sonication: a multicenter study

Publication Type: Scientific poster, presentation or proceeding Authors: EU Mycobacteria-MALDI study group; An Van den Bossche; Pieter-Jan Ceyssens Source: ECCMID 2018, Issue ESCMID, Madrid, Spain ...

Time-and-motion tool for the assessment of working time in tuberculosis laboratories: a multicentre study.

objective means for recording the actual time spent on running laboratory assays. DESIGN: Multicentre prospective study conducted in six European Union (EU) reference TB  laboratories. RESULTS: A total of ...

A cluster of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis among patients arriving in Europe from the Horn of Africa: a molecular epidemiological study.

multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. In this molecular epidemiological study, we prospectively defined outbreak cases with 24-locus mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat (MIRU- VNTR) ...

Meropenem-clavulanate for drug-resistant tuberculosis: a follow-up of relapse-free cases.

cases, carbapenems have been studied in vitro and in animal models, with encouraging results. However, only short-term follow-up data from clinical studies are currently available. OBJECTIVES: To study the ...

Virulence and immunogenicity of genetically defined human and porcine isolates of M. avium subsp. hominissuis in an experimental mouse infection

isolates of genotype MST91 and comparison with two well-studied M. avium subsp. hominissuis reference strains i.e. Mah 104 and Mah TH135, identified in the two MST22 isolates nine specific virulence factors ...

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

method is more challenging due to the special need for inactivation and protein extraction. Although several studies have been published, there is no clear consensus on the processing of Mycobacteria for ...

Global transcriptional analyses of Mycobacterium tuberculosis using old and new drugs

wide transcriptional analyses of drug influences on M. tuberculosis remain rather limited. Here we present a global study of the response of two pansensitive M. tuberculosis strains to eight TB-drugs. By ...
