Transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in China: a population-based molecular epidemiologic study.
BACKGROUND Understanding the transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is essential for the development of efficient tuberculosis control strategies. China has the second-largest tuberculosis burden in the world. Recent transmission and infection with M. tuberculosis, particularly drug-resistant strains, may account for many new tuberculosis cases. METHODS We performed a population-based mol...
متن کاملTuberculosis transmission based on molecular epidemiologic research.
Molecular genotyping techniques developed during the past decade and conventional epidemiological methods have been used synergistically in studies of the transmission and pathogenesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Research studies assessing contacts and outbreaks, risk factors for ongoing transmission, and exogenous reinfection with M. tuberculosis have advanced with applied molecular epidemi...
متن کاملClonal groups of penicillin-nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae in Baltimore, Maryland: a population-based, molecular epidemiologic study.
Few data are available on the molecular subtypes of all penicillin-nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae (PNSP) from a defined population base. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), serotyping, and antibiotic susceptibility testing were performed for all available invasive PNSP isolates for which the penicillin (MIC) was > or =0.1 microg/ml from Baltimore, Md., during 1995-1996 (n = 143). ...
متن کاملGenotyping ofMycobacterium tuberculosis in China and Missing Links in the Chain of Ongoing Transmission of Tuberculosis
Worldwide, the epidemiology of tuberculosis varies widely from an uncommon disease refueled by immigration to highly endemic, with ongoing transmission as the driving force. Countries with the highest incidence rates are found in subSaharan Africa, whereas the highest absolute numbers of cases are recorded in India and China. The latter countries experience intermediate incidence rates, but hav...
متن کاملEpilepsy in Punjab (India): A Population-Based Epidemiologic Study.
AIMS To assess the prevalence of epilepsy in a rural area adjoining a city. METHODS A door-to-door, cross-sectional epidemiological survey was carried out covering an entire rural population of 103,693 people. RESULTS Crude period and point prevalence rates for active epilepsy were 7.67 and 7.44 per 1,000 respectively. Crude incidence rate was 60.76 per 100,000 during the year 2007. Mean, S...
