  • The Americas are not on track to end TB

    Open AccessÁngel Sebastián Rodríguez-Pazmiño, Solon Alberto Orlando et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2026

    and Southeast Asia, but recent reports suggest a worrisome reversal in several countries (Garcia-Bereguiain et al., 2025;Pan American Health Organization, 2023). To assess regional progress, we analyzed trends in TB incidence rates across countries and dependent territories in the Americas, based on the most recent Global TB Report by WHO, available under the goals of the End TB Program.The American continent comprises 58 geopolitical entities: 3…

  • An intersectionality perspective on tuberculosis

    Open AccessÁngel Sebastián Rodríguez-Pazmiño, Darwin Paredes-Núñez et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Introduction: The Intersectionality approach to studying tuberculosis (TB) is a complex one. While historical data and indicators consistently suggest a positive correlation between social determinants, such as poverty, and TB mortality, the strength of this association varies across different regions and countries. Overcrowding and population density are also recognized as risk factors for TB transmission. Methods: In this study, we conducted a …

  • Population structure and antibiotic resistance profiles of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from Ibadan, Nigeria (2019–2020)

    Open AccessElsy Carvajal, Samantha Escandón et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Nigeria ranks as the sixth country globally and the first in Africa with the highest burden of tuberculosis (TB) infection. The emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) strains have posed significant challenges to effective disease management in the country. In this study, 55 Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) isolates from patients attending a hospital in Ibadan city (Nigeria) were selected. MTB isolates were analyzed using PCR ampl…

  • Rapid and accurate identification and differentiation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacteria using PCR kits available in a high-burden setting

    Open AccessBernardo Castro-Rodriguez, Greta Franco-Sotomayor et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Infections caused by mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) and non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), are a major public health issue worldwide. An accurate diagnosis of mycobacterial species is a challenge for surveillance and treatment, particularly in high-burden settings usually associated with low- and middle-income countries. In this study, we analyzed the clinical performance of two commercial PCR kits designed for…

  • Prevalence, drug resistance, and genotypic diversity of the RDRio subfamily of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Ecuador

    Open AccessBernardo Castro-Rodriguez, Greta Franco-Sotomayor et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Introduction A major sublineage within the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) LAM family characterized by a new in-frame fusion gene Rv3346c/55c was discovered in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) in 2007, called RD Rio , associated to drug resistance. The few studies about prevalence of MTB RD Rio strains in Latin America reported values ranging from 3% in Chile to 69.8% in Venezuela, although no information is available for countries like Ecuador. Methods …

  • A first insight into tuberculosis transmission at the border of Ecuador and Colombia

    Open AccessBernardo Castro-Rodriguez, Sebastián Espinoza-Andrade et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Objective: complex (MTBC) and to identify active transmission clusters of regional importance. Methods: We studied the potential transmission of TB between Colombia and Ecuador through the analysis of the population structure of MTBC lineages circulating in the Ecuadorian province of Esmeraldas at the border with Colombia. A total of 105 MTBC strains were characterized by 24-loci MIRU-VNTR and spoligotyping. Results: MTBC lineage 4 is only presen…
