Spoligotyping of Clinical Isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Species in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia

Bedru Hussien et al.

Summary: This study investigated the species and spoligo patterns of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) in the Oromia region of Ethiopia. The results showed that SIT149 and EA lineage were the most predominant isolates, and a significant number of singleton and orphan spoligotypes were observed. The study suggests the use of methods with better discriminatory power than spoligotyping for further genetic typing of the isolates.

Drug sensitivity of clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and its association with bacterial genotype in the Somali region, Eastern Ethiopia

Getnet Worku et al.

Summary: Drug resistance is a major challenge for TB control programs, particularly in countries with high TB burden. This study aimed to evaluate drug sensitivity of M. tuberculosis in peripheral regions of Ethiopia and the performance of Xpert in detecting RIF resistance. Results showed a higher prevalence of MDR TB in the Somali region than the national average, with drug resistance associated with SIT 149 spoligotype. The Xpert assay demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity in detecting RIF-resistant M. tuberculosis, indicating its potential for widespread application.

Molecular Epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains isolated from pulmonary tuberculosis patients in south Ethiopia

Yared Merid et al.

Summary: This study identified several clusters and drug resistant strains of M. tuberculosis in southern Ethiopia, indicating recent transmission including of drug resistant tuberculosis. Further monitoring of drug susceptibility testing and geospatial analysis of transmission trends is necessary to control tuberculosis in the region.

Challenges in delivery of tuberculosis Services in Ethiopian Pastoralist Settings: clues for reforming service models and organizational structures

Fentabil Getnet et al.

Summary: This study identified poor knowledge of TB, limited accessibility, pastoralism, and initial healthcare-seeking at informal drug vendors as key barriers hindering the uptake of TB medical services in Somali pastoral settings of Ethiopia. On the other hand, the major challenges affecting the provision of TB services for pastoral communities were inadequate infrastructure, shortage of trained providers, interruptions of drugs and laboratory supplies, scarcity of equipment, programme management gaps, lack of tailored approach, low private engagement, and cross-border movement.

Epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis lineages and strain clustering within urban and peri-urban settings in Ethiopia

Hawult Taye et al.

Summary: This study investigated factors associated with the predominance of M. tb lineages and clustering rate in urban and peri-urban settings in Ethiopia. The majority of strains belonged to L3 and L4, with a high percentage of isolates sharing patterns. Compared to L3, infections with L4 were more likely to be associated with pulmonary tuberculosis. The overall rate of strain clustering was high, indicating a need for further detailed investigations into the molecular epidemiology of tuberculosis in Ethiopia.
