Mycobacterium tuberculosis

  1. About half with trace ultra results were recommended tuberculosis therapy
    Study of 311 adults with trace-positive TB tests shows 20% culture-confirmed disease at enrollment and identifies clinical predictors to guide treatment decisions in settings with uncertain TB status.
  2. Seroprevalence of mycobacteria detected in Korean swine
    Nationwide Korean seroprevalence survey of Mycobacterium bovis and avium in domestic sows and wild boars, revealing 4.54-5.91% M. bovis and 7.71-10.10% M. avium exposure.
  3. Urine metabolomics showed distinct patterns across paediatric TB states
    Urine metabolomics via NMR spectroscopy shows promise for early diagnosis of paediatric tuberculosis, achieving 97% accuracy in distinguishing active TB from latent infection.
