- 1From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 17, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedMycobacterium caprae is a pathogen that can infect animals and humans. To better understand the epidemiology of M. caprae, we spoligotyped 791 animal isolates. Results suggest infection is widespread in Spain, affecting...
- 2From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 17, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedTo determine whether plumbing could be a source of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection, during 2007-2009 I isolated NTM from samples from household water systems of NTM patients. Samples from 22/37 (59%)...
- 3From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 17, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedTo the Editor: Cholera, caused by toxigenic strains of Vibrio cholerae O1 or O139, continues to be a major cause of illness and death, particularly in developing countries. Treatment consists of early administration of...
- 4From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 17, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedTo the Editor: Mycobacterium mageritense is one of the rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM). It was first isolated in Spain in 1987, described as a new species in 1997 by Domenech et al. (1), and first described and...
- 5From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 17, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedWe determined the proportion of foreign-born persons with tuberculosis (TB) in Singapore. This proportion increased from 25.5% in 2004 to 37.6% in 2009. Unskilled workers from countries with high incidences of TB...
- 6From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 17, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedTrends in Staphylococcus aureus infections are not well described. To calculate incidence in overall S. aureus infection and invasive and noninvasive infections according to methicillin susceptibility and location, we...
- 7From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 17, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedTo the Editor: Although the clinical role of nontuberculous mycobacteria has long been appreciated (1), the high endemicity of tuberculosis (TB) in developing countries has overshadowed the emergence of these organisms....
- 8From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 17, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedTo characterize the distribution of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species isolated from pulmonary samples from persons in Asia and their association with pulmonary infections, we reviewed the literature....
- 9From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 17, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedAmong the major challenges in achieving tuberculosis (TB) elimination in the United States are preventing, detecting, and responding to TB outbreaks. Identifying high-risk settings and applying effective control...
- 10From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 17, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedWe reviewed confirmed cases of pediatric invasive meningococcal disease in Tijuana, Mexico, and San Diego County, California, USA, during 2005-2008. The overall incidence and fatality rate observed in Tijuana were...
- 11From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 17, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedWe performed a molecular epidemiologic survey of mutations associated with drug-resistance genes in Plasmodium falciparum in northeastern Myanmar. In this region, 3 highly mutated drug-resistance haplotypes and 1...
- 12From: Emerging Infectious Diseases. (Vol. 17, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedSerologic studies for swine influenza viruses (SIVs) in humans with occupational exposure to swine have been reported from the Americas but not from Europe. We compared levels of neutralizing antibodies against 3...
