Objective: The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing family is an epidemiologically important lineage subdivided into large-scale phylogenetic sublineages: ancient, endemic in East Asia, and global modern. Here, we analysed ancient sublineages of the Beijing genotype in the Omsk region of southwestern Siberia, an intriguing area at the intersection of European Russia, Siberia, and Central Asia.
Methods: The study included 423 M.
Major genotype families and epidemic clones of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Omsk region, Western Siberia, Russia, marked by a high burden of tuberculosis-HIV coinfection.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains from both HIV-positive and HIV-negative TB patients in the Omsk region of Siberia, revealing a high prevalence of HIV co-infection among those with disseminated TB.
- The Beijing genotype was the dominant strain, accounting for over 62% of isolates, with specific clusters showing a strong association with multi-drug resistance (MDR), though MDR was not linked to HIV status.
- Among non-Beijing strains, the emerging drug-resistant Ural family SIT262 was noted as a concerning development, highlighting the complex TB/HIV epidemic in the region.
Background & Objectives: A complicated epidemiological situation characterized by significantly high tuberculosis (TB) morbidity is observed in West Siberia. This study was aimed to investigate the genetic characteristics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis circulating in the southern part of West Siberia (in the Omsk region).
Methods: From March 2013 to January 2015, 100 isolates of M.
Unlabelled: Nutrition is an important biological factor, which affects largely on the development of the all functions of the human body. There is known association of the appearance of breast cancer with alimentary factors: inadequate consumption of fruits, vegetables, dairy products, excessive consumption of coffee, tea, sugar, salt, bread, fatty foods, overweight, early age of onset and frequent alcohol consumption.
Aim Of The Study: To study the prevalence of risk factors for breast cancer related to nutrition in the female population of the Omsk region.
