TL;DR: Investigators in Germany detected the spread of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) from a person who had recently traveled from China and found it to be a novel virus.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: PCR-based assays provide a rapid and simple means for the differentiation of members of TBC, especially M. bovis and M. tuberculosis, when it is important to distinguish between zoonotic sources and human sources of tuberculosis disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial treatment for early, limited Mycobacterium ulcerans infection: a randomised controlled trial
Willemien A. Nienhuis,Ymkje Stienstra,William Thompson,Peter C. Awuah,K. Mohammed Abass,Wilson Tuah,Nana Yaa Awua-Boateng,Edwin Ampadu,Vera Siegmund,Jan P. Schouten,Ohene Adjei,Gisela Bretzel,Tjip S. van der Werf +12 more
TL;DR: Antimycobacterial treatment for M ulcerans infection is effective in early, limited disease; however, the number of injections of streptomycin can be reduced by switching to oral clarithromycin after 4 weeks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paradoxical Responses After Start of Antimicrobial Treatment in Mycobacterium ulcerans Infection
Willemien A. Nienhuis,Ymkje Stienstra,K. Mohammed Abass,Wilson Tuah,William Thompson,Peter C. Awuah,Nana Yaa Awuah-Boateng,Ohene Adjei,Gisela Bretzel,Jan P. Schouten,Tjip S. van der Werf +10 more
TL;DR: After start of antimicrobial treatment for Buruli ulcer, new or progressive ulceration is common before healing sets in, and this paradoxical response, most prominent at the end of the 8-week antimacterial treatment, should not be misinterpreted as failure to respond to treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Comparative and phylogenetic analysis of 154 genomes from 25 countries provides insight into the pathogen’s evolution and antimicrobial resistance, uncovering lineages and phylogeographic trends, with the most ancestral strains linked to the Far East.
