  • Validation of bedaquiline phenotypic drug susceptibility testing methods and breakpoints : a multilaboratory, multicountry study 
    Kaniga, Koné; Aono, Akio; Borroni, Emanuele; Cirillo, Daniela Maria; Desmaretz, Christel; Hasan, Rumina; Joseph, Lavania; Mitarai, Satoshi; Shakoor, Sadia; Torrea, Gabriela; Ismail, Nazir Ahmed; Omar, Shaheed Vally (American Society for Microbiology, 2020-04)
    Drug-resistant tuberculosis persists as a major public health concern. Alongside efficacious treatments, validated and standardized drug susceptibility testing (DST) is required to improve patient care. This multicountry, ...
  • Viral hepatitis 
    Brink, Delene (Medpharm Publications, 2006-09)
    The hepatitis A, B, C, D and E viruses primarily target the liver to cause viral hepatitis. Hepatitis A (HAV) and E (HEV) viruses are transmitted by the faecal-oral route and cause acute viral hepatitis. Acute viral hepatitis ...
  • Vulvovaginal yeast infections during pregnancy and perinatal outcomes : systematic review and meta-analysis 
    Gigi, Ranjana M. S.; Buitrago‑Garcia, Diana; Taghavi, Katayoun; Dunaiski, Cara‑Mia; Van de Wijgert, Janneke H.H.M.; Peters, Remco P.H.; Low, Nicola (BMC, 2023-03-21)
    BACKGROUND : Vulvovaginal yeast infections in pregnancy are common and can cause extensive inflammation, which could contribute to adverse pregnancy outcomes. Symptomatic yeast infections are likely to cause more ...
  • WASH infrastructure and practices in primary health care clinics in the rural Vhembe district municipality in South Africa 
    Potgieter, N.; Banda, N.T.; Becker, Piet J.; Traore-Hoffman, A.N. (BMC, 2021-01)
    BACKGROUND: South Africa has unique and diverse social and economic factors that have an impact on the provision of basic water, sanitation, hygiene and waste management infrastructure and practices at health care facilities ...
  • Weight change among women using intramuscular depot medroxyprogesterone acetate, a copper intrauterine device, or a levonorgestrel implant for contraception : findings from a randomised, multicentre, open-label trial 
    Beksinska, Mags; Issema, Rodal; Beesham, Ivana; Lalbahadur, Tharnija; Thomas, Katherine; Morrison, Charles; Hofmeyr, G. Justus; Steyn, Petrus S.; Mugo, Nelly; Palanee-Phillips, Thesla; Ahmed, Khatija; Nair, Gonasagrie; Baeten, Jared M.; Smit, Jenni (Elsevier, 2021-04)
    BACKGROUND : There is limited evidence on the impact of the use of progestin-only hormonal contraception (POC) on weight change. We conducted a secondary analysis of prospective weight change among women enrolled in the ...
  • Whole genome sequencing for drug resistance determination in Mycobacterium tuberculosis 
    Omar, Shaheed Vally; Joseph, Lavania; Halima M. Said; Ismail, Farzana; Ismail, Nabila; Gwala, Thabisile L.; Ismail, Nazir Ahmed (AOSIS Open Journals, 2019-02-21)
    South Africa remains challenged with a high tuberculosis burden accompanied by an increase in drug resistant cases. We assessed the use of the Illumina MiSeq, a next-generation sequencing platform for whole genome ...
  • Whole-genome sequence of a Mycobacterium goodii isolate from a pediatric patient in South Africa 
    Allam, Mushal; Joseph, Lavania; Ismail, Farzana; Said, Halima; Ismail, Nazir Ahmed; Ismail, Arshad; Mtshali, Senzo; Mnyameni, Florah; Goussard, Pierre; Pekeur, Jade C.; Lourens, Adre; Omar, Shaheed Vally (American Society for Microbiology, 2018-01-18)
    We describe here the draft genome sequence of a Mycobacterium goodii isolate from a pediatric patient in Western Cape, South Africa. To our knowledge, this is the second reported genome of this rapidly growing nontuberculous ...
  • Whole-genome sequencing for prediction of Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug susceptibility and resistance : a retrospective cohort study 
    Ismail, Nazir Ahmed; Omar, Shaheed Vally; Walker, Timothy M.; Kohl, Thomas A.; Hedge, Jessica; Elias, Carlos Del Ojo; Bradley, Phelim; Iqbal, Zamin; Feuerriegel, Silke; Niehaus, Katherine E.; Wilson, Daniel J.; Clifton, David A.; Kapatai, Georgia; Ip, Camilla L.C.; Bowden, Rory; Drobniewski, Francis A.; Allix-Béguec, Caroline; Gaudin, Cyril; Parkhill, Julian; Diel, Roland; Supply, Philip; Crook, Derrick W.; Smith, E. Grace; Walker, A. Sarah; Niemann, Stefan; Peto, Tim E. A.; Davies, J.; Crichton, C.; Acharya, M.; Madrid-Marquez, Eyre, D.; Wyllie, D.; Golubchik, T.; Munang, M. (Elsevier, 2015-10)
    BACKGROUND : Diagnosing drug-resistance remains an obstacle to the elimination of tuberculosis. Phenotypic drugsusceptibility testing is slow and expensive, and commercial genotypic assays screen only common resistanced ...
