Pre-multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing strain associated with disseminated tuberculosis in a pet dog.

چکیده
Resistance to isoniazid, ethambutol, and streptomycin was detected in a Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain, belonging to the Beijing family lineage, isolated from two nodule exudates of a Yorkshire terrier with generalized tuberculosis. This report alerts medical practitioners to the risk of dissemination of pre-multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (preMDR-TB) through exposure to M. tuberculosis-shedding pets.

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...
متن کاملWhole-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.
متن کاملDouble infection with a resistant and a multidrug-resistant strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
An immunocompetent patient was dually infected with a resistant and a multidrug-resistant strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB). The multidrug-resistant strain, which belongs to the W- strain/Beijing family, was first isolated after 3 months of therapy. Inappropriate treatment led to further drug resistance and unsuccessful therapy. Thus, additional infections with resistant M. tuberculosis...
متن کاملDrug-susceptible Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing genotype does not develop mutation-conferred resistance to rifampin at an elevated rate.
The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing genotype has drawn attention because it is often strongly associated with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). A possible reason is that the Beijing strains may have an enhanced capacity to develop drug resistance. In this study, we used the Luria-Delbrück fluctuation test to investigate whether strains of Beijing and non-Beijing genotypes exhibit di...
متن کاملWhole-Genome Sequence of the Potentially Hypertransmissible Multidrug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing Strain OM-V02_005
We report the draft genome sequence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing strain OM-V02_005, which exhibits possible hypertransmissible characteristics among the population of patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in Osaka Prefecture, the largest urban area in western Japan.
