Journal ArticleDOI
Bacillus cereus and related species.
TL;DR: It is now recognized as an infrequent cause of serious nongastrointestinal infection, particularly in drug addicts, the immunosuppressed, neonates, and postsurgical patients, especially when prosthetic implants such as ventricular shunts are inserted.
Journal ArticleDOI
A systematic review of rapid diagnostic tests for the detection of tuberculosis infection.

TL;DR: High specificity estimates suggest that NAAT tests should be the first-line test for ruling in TB meningitis, but that they need to be combined with the result of other tests in order to rule out disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A snapshot of NTM species distribution demonstrates that the species distribution among NTM isolates from pulmonary specimens in the year 2008 differed by continent and differed by country within these continents.

TL;DR: A broad catalogue of genetic mutations enable data from whole-genome sequencing to be used clinically to predict drug resistance, drug susceptibility, or to identify drug phenotypes that cannot yet be genetically predicted.
