Numerous Non-Tuberculosis Mycobacteria Identified in Saudi Arabian Infections
Jan 12, 2017
|
staff reporter NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) ? Saudi Arabian researchers reported this week that they have identified rare, non-tuberculosis Mycobacterium species as the apparent culprits behind pulmonary and extra-pulmonary infections in that country.
The team did targeted sequencing, including16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing, on more than two-dozen clinical isolates collected in Saudi Arabia as part of a national surveillance program focused on non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM). The analysis, published in PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases yesterday, uncovered 16 different NTM species, with M. monascence turning up in nearly one-fifth of the cases considered...
