| pyrazinamide-monoresistant mycobacterium tuberculosis in the united states. | mycobacterium bovis is naturally resistant to the antituberculosis drug pyrazinamide (pza). to determine whether all mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates demonstrating pza monoresistance were truly m. bovis, we examined the phenotype and genotype of isolates reported as pza monoresistant in five counties in california from january 1996 through june 1999. isolates reported by local laboratories to be pza monoresistant were sent to the state reference laboratory for repeat susceptibility te ... | 2001 | 11158123 |
| risk factors for positive mantoux tuberculin skin tests in children in san diego, california: evidence for boosting and possible foodborne transmission. | source case finding in san diego, california, rarely detects the source for children with tuberculosis (tb) infection or disease. one third of all pediatric tb isolates in san diego are mycobacterium bovis, a strain associated with raw dairy products. this study was conducted to determine risk factors for tb infection in san diego. | 2001 | 11483792 |
| limited transmission of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis despite a high proportion of infectious cases in los angeles county, california. | preventing transmission of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is critical because of treatment toxicity, cost, and the lack of effective therapy for latent infection. we attempted to determine the extent of transmission in los angeles county by comparing relatedness of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis cases using restriction fragment length polymorphism and by cross-matching contact information to the tuberculosis registry. strain typing was done on isolates of 102 pulmonary multidrug-resistant ca ... | 2002 | 11897649 |

| recovery of salmonella, listeria monocytogenes, and mycobacterium bovis from cheese entering the united states through a noncommercial land port of entry. | a joint multiagency project was initiated in response to a salmonella outbreak in san diego county, california, in 2004. samples of cheese were collected during four 1-day operations at the san ysidro port of entry, along the united states-mexico border. surveyed participants were persons crossing the border as pedestrians or in vehicles who had a minimum of 2.27 kg of cheese, which may suggest a potential diversion to illegal marketing. in addition, data were collected about the cheese to ident ... | 2007 | 17265859 |
| reproducibility of quantiferon-tb gold in-tube assay. | studies are needed to characterize the reproducibility of quantiferon-tb gold (qft-g) for targeted u.s. screening populations. members of northern california households were tested with the qft-g in-tube assay (qft-g-it) at two home visits 3 months apart. reproducibility and agreement with the tuberculin skin test (tst) were assessed. monte carlo simulation was used to evaluate the role of test-related error. of 63 individuals (49 adults and 14 children) completing qft-g-it at both time points, ... | 2008 | 18199741 |
| tuberculosis from mycobacterium bovis in binational communities, united states. | the epidemiology of tuberculosis (tb) in the united states is changing as the incidence of disease becomes more concentrated in foreign-born persons. mycobacterium bovis appears to be contributing substantially to the tb incidence in some binational communities with ties to mexico. we conducted a retrospective analysis of tb case surveillance data from the san diego, california, region from 1994 through 2005 to estimate incidence trends, identify correlates of m. bovis disease, and evaluate risk ... | 2008 | 18507901 |

| epidemiology of human mycobacterium bovis disease, california, usa, 2003-2011. | we conducted a retrospective review of california tuberculosis (tb) registry and genotyping data to evaluate trends, analyze epidemiologic differences between adult and child case-patients with mycobacterium bovis disease, and identify risk factors for m. bovis disease. the percentage of tb cases attributable to m. bovis increased from 3.4% (80/2,384) in 2003 to 5.4% (98/1,808) in 2011 (p = 0.002). all (6/6) child case-patients with m. bovis disease during 2010-2011 had >1 parent/guardian who wa ... | 2015 | 25693687 |
