TL;DR: Pinnipeds appear to be the natural host for this 'seal bacillus', although the organism is also pathogenic in guinea pigs, rabbits, humans, Brazilian tapir and, possibly, cattle.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: To facilitate the analysis of hundreds of spoligotypes each made up of a binary succession of 43 bits of information, a number of major and minor visual rules were also defined to define 36 major clades (or families) of M. tuberculosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic Deletions Suggest a Phylogeny for the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex
TL;DR: Genomic deletions present themselves as an attractive modality to study the evolution of the M. tuberculosis complex and provide compelling evidence that human tuberculosis did not originate from the present-day bovine form.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-wide analysis of synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms in Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex organisms: resolution of genetic relationships among closely related microbial strains.
Michaela Gutacker,James C. Smoot,Cristi A. Lux Migliaccio,Stacy M. Ricklefs,Su Hua,Debby Cousins,Edward A. Graviss,Elena Shashkina,Barry N. Kreiswirth,James M. Musser +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a representative pathogen, M. tuberculosis sensu stricto, was genotyped on the basis of 230 synonymous (silent) single nucleotide polymorphisms (sSNPs) identified by comparison of four genome sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spacer oligonucleotide typing of Mycobacterium bovis strains from cattle and other animals: a tool for studying epidemiology of tuberculosis.
Alicia Aranaz,Ernesto Liebana,Ana Mateos,Lucas Domínguez,Dolors Vidal,Mariano Domingo,O. Gonzolez,Elías F. Rodríguez-Ferri,A. E. Bunschoten,J. D. A. Van Embden,Debby Cousins +10 more
TL;DR: By spoligotyping, isolates from the Spanish wild boar and deer had the same pattern as some bovine isolates, suggesting transmission between these animals and cattle and highlighting the importance of the study of these reservoirs.
