The emergence of Beijing family genotypes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and low-level protection by bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccines: is there a link?

Clinical and experimental immunology - 1 Sept 2006

Abebe F, Bjune G

Abstract excerpt

The world is confronted with major tuberculosis (TB) outbreaks at a time when the protection of bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine has become inconsistent and controversial. Major TB outbreaks are caused by a group of genetically similar strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) strains, including the Beijing family genotypes. The Beijing family genotypes exhibit important pathogenic features such high...
