The Intriguing Pattern of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria in Bulgaria and Description of sp. nov.

We investigated the rise of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections in Bulgaria, focusing on species identification and distribution from 2018 to 2022. Utilizing advanced diagnostic tools, including the Hain Mycobacterium CM/AS method, Myco-biochip assay, and whole-genome sequencing, the study identifies and characterizes a diverse range of species from clinical samples. While , , , and were dominating, a number of rare species were also found.

Increasing circulation of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis strains in Buryatia, high-burden and ethnically diverse region in the Russian Far East.

Buryatia is a multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) high-burden region in the Russian Far East with ethnically diverse population (30 % Mongoloid Buryats and 65 % Russians). Two hundred M. tuberculosis strains from newly-diagnosed patients were subjected to phenotypic testing and genotyping.
