Clonal expansion across the seas as seen through CPLP-TB database: A joint effort in cataloguing Mycobacterium tuberculosis genetic diversity in Portuguese-speaking countries

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major health problem within the Community of Portuguese Language Speaking Countries (CPLP). Despite the marked variation in TB incidence across its member-states and continued human migratory flux between countries, a considerable gap in the knowledge on the Mycobacterium tuberculosis population structure and strain circulation between the countries still exists. To address […]

Multidrug-resistant mycobacterium tuberculosis of the Latin American mediterranean lineage, wrongly identified as mycobacterium pinnipedii (Spoligotype International Type 863 [SIT863]), causing active tuberculosis in South Brazil

  • Authors: Clark TG, da Silva PA, Dalla Costa ER, Esteves LS, Gomes HM, Gomes LL, McNerney R, Pain A, Perdigão J, Portugal I, Rastogi N, Rossetti ML, Suffys PN, Unis G, Vasconcelos SE, Viveiros M

We recently detected the spoligotype patterns of strains of Mycobacterium pinnipedii, a species of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, in sputum samples from nine cases with pulmonary tuberculosis residing in Porto Alegre, South Brazil. Because this species is rarely encountered in humans, we further characterized these nine isolates by additional genotyping techniques, including 24-locus mycobacterial interspersed […]

To cope with the emergence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), new molecular methods that can routinely be used to screen for a wide range of drug resistance related genetic markers in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome are urgently needed. To evaluate the performance of multiplex ligaton-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) against Genotype® MTBDRplus to detect resistance to isoniazid […]

Enhancement of antibiotic activity by efflux inhibitors against multidrug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates from Brazil

  • Authors: Coelho T, Couto I, Machado D, Maschmann R, Ramos D, Rossetti ML, Silva PA, Viveiros M, von Groll A
  • Publication Year: 2015
  • Journal: Frontiers in Microbiology

Drug resistant tuberculosis continues to increase and new approaches for its treatment are necessary. The identification of M. tuberculosis clinical isolates presenting efflux as part of their resistant phenotype has a major impact in tuberculosis treatment. In this work, we used a checkerboard procedure combined with the tetrazolium microplate-based assay (TEMA) to study single combinations […]
