Strong increase of true and false positive mycobacterial cultures sent to the National Reference Centre in Belgium, 2007 to 2016.
by PCR in the NRC). We reviewed mycobacterial species identified and assessed trends over time of proportions of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) vs complex (MTB c), and false positive cultures vs ...
Time-and-motion tool for the assessment of working time in tuberculosis laboratories: a multicentre study.
Werf; F Drobniewski; V Nikolayevskyy Source: Int J Tuberc Lung Dis, Volume 22, Issue 4 (2018) Keywords: hands-on time laboratory diagnosis Workload Abstract: SETTING: Implementation of novel diagnostic ...
MALDI-TOF for the identification of Mycobacteria and their drug resistance profiles
desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI- TOF MS) has been increasingly introduced as a valuable method for the identification of bacteria and yeast1. This technique, which generates mass ...
Global transcriptional analyses of Mycobacterium tuberculosis using old and new drugs
using the approach called RNA tag-Seq, multiple samples were combined in one run, reducing time and cost. Material/methods: For each drug (isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, capreomycin, amikacin, ...
Global transcriptional analyses of Mycobacterium tuberculosis using old and new drugs
multiple samples were combined in one run, reducing time and cost. Material/methods: For each drug (isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, capreomycin, amikacin, linezolid, moxifloxacin and bedaquilin), twice ...
RNA-based drug susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Background Multidrug resistance of Tuberculosis strains (MDR- TB) are one of the major WHO health concerns. One of the challenges that hampers the effective response to MDR- TB is the long turnaround time of ...
