Meta-narrative review of molecular methods for diagnosis and monitoring of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis treatment in adults
Mbelele, Peter; Mohamed, Sagal; Sauli, Elingarami; Mpolya, Emmanuel; Mfinanga, Sayoki; Addo, Kennedy; Heysell, Scott; Mpagama, Stellah (PubMed Central, 2019-06-04)Early and accurate diagnosis and rigorous clinical and microbiological monitoring of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment can curb morbidity and mortality. While others are still under evaluation, the World ... -
Mycobactericidal Effects of Different Regimens Measured by Molecular Bacterial Load Assay among People Treated for Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis in Tanzania
Mbelele, Peter; Mpolya, Emmanuel; Sauli, Elingarami; Mtafya, Bariki; Ntinginya, Nyanda; Addo, Kennedy; Kreppel, Katharina; Mfinanga, Sayoki; Phillips, Patrick; Gillespie, Stephen; Heysell, Scott; Sabiiti, Wilber; Mpagama, Stellah (American Society for Microbiology, 2021-02-03)Rifampin or multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (RR/MDR-TB) treatment has largely transitioned to regimens free of the injectable aminoglycoside component, despite the drug class’ purported bactericidal activity early in ... -
TB or not TB? Definitive determination of species within the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex in unprocessed sputum from adults with presumed multidrug-resistant tuberculosis
Mbelele, Peter; Sauli, Elingarami; Mpolya, Emmanuel; Mohamed, Sagal; Addo, Kennedy; Mfinanga, Sayoki; Heysell, Scott; Mpagama, Stellah (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2021-06-09)objectives Differences among Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) species may predict drug resistance or treatment success. Thus, we optimised and deployed the genotype MTBC assay (gMTBC) to identify MTC to the species ... -

Whole genome sequencing-based drug resistance predictions of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from Tanzania
Mbelele, Peter; Utpatel, Christian; Sauli, Elingarami; Mpolya, Emmanuel; Mutayoba, Beatrice; Barilar, Ivan; Dreyer, Viola; Merker, Matthias; Sariko, Margaretha; Swema, Buliga; Mmbaga, Blandina; Gratz, Jean; Addo, Kennedy; Pletschette, Michel; Niemann, Stefan; Houpt, Eric; Mpagama, Stellah; Heysell, Scott (Oxford University Press, 2022-04-21)Background: Rifampicin- or multidrug-resistant (RR/MDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) strains account for considerable morbidity and mortality globally. WGS-based prediction of drug resistance may guide clinical ...
