Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing outbreak in a school in Marseille, France, 2012.

چکیده
Between January and September 2012, a teacher and four students at a technical college in Marseille, France, developed pulmonary tuberculosis. All Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from these cases were identical and belonged to the Beijing strain family, multispacer sequence type 72, a rare genotype identified only once in our laboratory in the previous two years. This report highlights once more the potential for M. tuberculosis Beijing strains to cause outbreaks, this time in a school setting.

Whole-Genome Sequence of a Multidrug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing Sequence Type 10 Isolate from an Outbreak in Thailand
Infections with the Beijing family of Mycobacterium tuberculosis occur worldwide and are endemic in Asian countries. We present the draft genome sequence of DS6701, a multidrug-resistant M. tuberculosis Beijing strain of sequence type 10. The isolate is a representative of strains isolated from a multidrug-resistant tuberculosis outbreak in Thailand.

Abstract Background: The Beijing strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is responsible for more than 25% of cases of Tuberculosis in the world, it has a high transmission potential and there is a significant correlation between Beijing strain and multidrug resistance. In this study we compared the presence of Phospholipase C genes in Beijing and Nonbeijing strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis...

Background & Aim: Molecular epidemiology is the using of molecular techniques (e.g. Spoligotyping, RFLP VNTR) in order to study bacterial distribution in human populations. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of all genotypes in M. tuberculosis strains typed by spoligotyping and to determine the associated risk factors in patients with different nationalities residing in...

Using geographic information system and molecular tools, we characterized a possible outbreak of tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing strain in 17 patients in Cotonou, Benin, during July 2005-October 2006. Most patients lived or worked in the same area and frequented the same local drinking bar. The isolates were streptomycin resistant.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis K, a member of the Beijing family, was first identified in 1999 as the most prevalent genotype in South Korea among clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis from high school outbreaks. M. tuberculosis K is an aerobic, non-motile, Gram-positive, and non-spore-forming rod-shaped bacillus. A transmission electron microscopy analysis displayed an abundance of lipid bodies in ...
