Mycobacterium research and diagnosis

This study presents the genome of M. brumae and shows its nonpathogenic and immunogenic traits through genomic analysis.

The paper characterizes a new prophage cluster, MabR, in Mycobacterium abscessus and Mycobacterium chelonae, showing its role in antibiotic resistance and virulence.

This study identifies mutations in Mycobacterium ulcerans DNA gyrase that reduce susceptibility to fluoroquinolones in vitro.

This paper develops a 3D agent-based model to simulate early MAC infection dynamics, showing how biofilms and immune responses influence bacterial colonization and infection outcomes.

This study tracks genetic diversity of Mycobacterium abscessus in CF patients over time, finding non-clonal evolution and accumulation of mutations in virulence and resistance genes.

The paper predicts the secretomes of M. abscessus isolates and identifies antigenic differences between subspecies and colony morphotypes.

This study reconstructs infection chains of Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis in a dairy herd using genomic data and demographic information to identify transmission patterns and risk factors.

The paper identifies non-identical 16S rRNA gene copies in six non-tuberculosis mycobacteria species using cloning and sequencing.

This study uses whole genome sequencing to reveal extensive genomic diversity among Mycobacterium marinum strains, suggesting they should be divided into two clusters.
