TL;DR: The purpose of the III Brazilian Thoracic Association (BTA) Guidelines on TB is to critically review the most recent national and international scientific information on TB, presenting an updated text with the most current and useful tools against TB to health care workers in this country.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutations in katG, inhA, and ahpC genes of Brazilian isoniazid-resistant isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Márcia Susana Nunes Silva,Simone Gonçalves Senna,Marta Osório Ribeiro,Andréia Rosane de Moura Valim,Maria Alice da Silva Telles,Afrânio Lineu Kritski,Glenn P. Morlock,Robert C. Cooksey,Arnaldo Zaha,Maria Lucia Rosa Rossetti +9 more
TL;DR: The presence of mutations in specific regions of the katG, inhA, and ahpC genes was analyzed with 69 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isoniazid-resistant isolates from three Brazilian states.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlations of mutations in katG, oxyR-ahpC and inhA genes and in vitro susceptibility in Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical strains segregated by spoligotype families from tuberculosis prevalent countries in South America

TL;DR: Genetic screening for the S315T katG mutation may provide rapid information for anti-TB regimen selection, epidemiological monitoring of isoniazid (INH) resistance and, possibly, to track transmission of INH resistant strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human Mycobacterium bovis infection in ten Latin American countries
Isabel N Kantor,M Ambroggi,Susana Poggi,Nora Morcillo,Maria Alice da Silva Telles,Marta Osório Ribeiro,María C. Garzón Torres,Claudia Llerena Polo,Wellman Ribón,Vicente Garcia,Dolores Kuffo,Luis Asencios,Lucy M. Vásquez Campos,Carlos Rivas,Jacobus H. de Waard +14 more
TL;DR: It was confirmed that BTB in humans exists, even though its relevance seems to be low, and occupational aerogenous exposure to TB cattle and their carcasses remains a source of infection in the region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains of the Beijing genotype are rarely observed in tuberculosis patients in South America.
Viviana Ritacco,Beatriz López,Patrícia Izquierdo Cafrune,Lucilaine Ferrazoli,Philip Noel Suffys,Norma Candia,Lucy Vásquez,Teresa Realpe,Jorge Fernández,Karla Valéria Batista Lima,Jeannete Zurita,Jaime Robledo,Maria Lucia Rosa Rossetti,Afranio Lineu Kritski,Maria Alice da Silva Telles,Juan Carlos Palomino,Herre Heersma,Dick van Soolingen,Kristin Kremer,Lucía Barrera +19 more
TL;DR: The data show that presently transmission of M. tuberculosis strains of the Beijing genotype is not frequent in Latin America, and demands efforts to define better the contribution of the virulence and lack of response to treatment to the growing spread of Beijing strains observed in other parts of the world.
