Mycobacterium africanum cases, California
Edward Desmond et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2004 May.
Abstract
Five Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates in California were identified as M. africanum by spoligotyping, single nucleotide polymorphisms, a deletion mutation, and phenotypic traits, confirming it as a cause of tuberculosis in the United States. Three of the five patients from whom M. africanum was isolated had lived in Africa.
