Non-tuberculous mycobacteria and other acid fast bacilli pathogens identification by qPCR and MALDI-ToF MS in tuberculosis-like lesions of slaughtered cattle from Ecuador Open
Introduction Mycobacterial infections are caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) but also by non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). While the importance of NTM in opportunistic infections in humans has been gaining attention,…

Identification of Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria in Iberian Lynx (Lynx pardinus) and Their Impact on Its Health Open
The Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) population has been increasing in recent years thanks to the collaboration of several associations within the framework of the Life Lynxconnect project, which promotes captive breeding for the subsequent re…

Evaluation of techniques for post-mortem diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex infection in goats Open
Goats are highly susceptible to Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) infection and can play an important role in the epidemiology of animal tuberculosis (TB) in certain epidemiological scenarios. Historically, culture has been conside…

Prevalence, drug resistance, and genotypic diversity of the RDRio subfamily of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Ecuador: a retrospective analysis for years 2012–2016 Open
Introduction A major sublineage within the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) LAM family characterized by a new in-frame fusion gene Rv3346c/55c was discovered in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) in 2007, called RD Rio , associated to drug resistance…

A first insight into tuberculosis transmission at the border of Ecuador and Colombia: a retrospective study of the population structure of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Esmeraldas province Open
Objective Tuberculosis (TB) is a major public health concern in Ecuador and Colombia, considering that both countries are high-burden TB settings. Molecular epidemiology is crucial to understand the transmission dynamics of Mycobacterium t…

Population structure of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in El Oro: A first insight into Ecuador-Peru tuberculosis transmission Open
These results may suggest that TB dynamics in this rural and semi-urban area would not be linked to highly transmitted strains like MTBC L2-Beijing from Peru, but related to TB relapse; although further studies with larger MTBC cultures co…
