Evaluation of single nucleotide polymorphisms in virulence genes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis as markers of lineages and sub-lineages in Tshwane region

Matodzi, Unarine (University of Pretoria, 2020)

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the top ten leading causes of death worldwide with millions of new TB cases reported every year. Understanding the genetic diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) is very ...
Genotypic and phenotypic diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains in patients with concomitant pulmonary and extra-pulmonary tuberculosis

Sibandze, Busizwe Busizwe (University of Pretoria, 2019)

future, more robust or higher-resolution genomic typing tools, such as target Next Generation Sequencing (t-NGS) or metagenomic analysis are recommended to improve our understanding of the complexity of infections and for ...
Innovative approaches to tuberculosis diagnosis with emphasis on nucleic acid amplification tests in a resource constrained high burden tuberculosis setting

Omar, Shaheed Vally (University of Pretoria, 2015)

The global control of tuberculosis (TB) is currently hindered by the low sensitivity of microscopy and the prolonged time-to-result of culture. Recent technical progress has improved both diagnostic accuracy and turnaround, ...
