SNP/RD Typing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing Strains Reveals Local and Worldwide Disseminated Clonal Complexes
The Beijing strain is one of the most successful genotypes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis worldwide and appears to be highly homogenous according to existing genotyping methods. To type Beijing strains reliably we developed a robust typing scheme using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and regions of difference (RDs) derived from whole-genome sequencing data of eight Beijing strains. SNP/RD...
متن کاملWorldwide Occurrence of Beijing/W Strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: A Systematic Review
Strains of the Beijing/W genotype family of Mycobacterium tuberculosis have caused large outbreaks of tuberculosis, sometimes involving multidrug resistance. This genetically highly conserved family of M. tuberculosis strains predominates in some geographic areas. We have conducted a systematic review of the published reports on these strains to determine their worldwide distribution, spread, a...
متن کاملphospholipase c in beijing strains of mycobacterium tuberculosis
background and objectives: phospholipase of mycobacterium tuberculosis plays an important role in pathogenesis through breaking up phospholipids and production of diacylglycerol. in this study, we examined the beijing strains of mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated from iranian patients for the genes encoding this enzyme. materials and methods: dna extraction was performed using ctab (cetyltrime...
متن کاملMycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing genotype and mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit typing.
Rao et al. (3) described a method to identify Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains of the Beijing genotype. The authors suggested using simple PCR of mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit–variable-number tandem repeat (MIRU-VNTR) locus 26 to identify these strains. This suggestion is based on the authors’ assumption that MIRU locus 26 has a specific seven-copy signature in these strains. Rao...
متن کاملFirst worldwide proficiency study on variable-number tandem-repeat typing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex strains.
Although variable-number tandem-repeat (VNTR) typing has gained recognition as the new standard for the DNA fingerprinting of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) isolates, external quality control programs have not yet been developed. Therefore, we organized the first multicenter proficiency study on 24-locus VNTR typing. Sets of 30 DNAs of MTBC strains, including 10 duplicate DNA samples...
