Genomic Diversity among Drug Sensitive and Multidrug Resistant Isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with Identical DNA Fingerprints
BACKGROUND Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), is characterized by low sequence diversity making this bacterium one of the classical examples of a genetically monomorphic pathogen. Because of this limited DNA sequence variation, routine genotyping of clinical MTBC isolates for epidemiological purposes relies on highly discriminatory DNA fingerpri...
متن کاملDNA fingerprints from Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates of patients confined for therapy noncompliance show frequent clustering.
STUDY OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that individuals chronically noncompliant with antituberculous chemotherapy are vectors for ongoing transmission of the disease in the community. DESIGN Cohort study. SETTING A large public hospital with a tuberculosis detention unit for patients with repeated and prolonged nonadherence to therapy. PATIENTS Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from pa...
متن کاملphylogeography and genetic diversity of the lesser mouse- eared bat (myotis blythii) in iran
in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...
Molecular analysis of Mycobacterium kansasii isolates from the United States.
We studied the population genetics of Mycobacterium kansasii isolates from the United States by PCR restriction enzyme analysis (PRA) of the 441-bp Telenti fragment of the hsp-65 gene and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) of genomic DNA with the restriction endonucleases AseI, DraI, and XbaI, and we compared the patterns to those previously reported from France and Japan. By PRA, 78 of 81...
متن کاملGenetic diversity of Iranian clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
In the current study we aimed to execute a rather less complicated molecular tying method, i.e. the random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis to find the heterogeneity of Iranian strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The isolates comprised a total of 96 strains of M. tuberculosis collected from clinical specimens of patients in Isfahan and Tehran. The isolates were assigned to th...
