This investigation aimed at the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in the sputum of Suruí Indian subjects from Amazonia, Brazil. Polymerase chain reaction analyses were positive for 12 samples, five of which were also culture-positive (N = 147). Four MTB genotypes were identified, one of which showed resistance to rifampicin and isoniazid. The study also highlighted one village complex as of particular importance, considering the relatively high number of tuberculosis cases reported and of MTB isolates obtained.
这项调查旨在检测巴西亚马逊地区苏鲁伊印第安人痰液中的结核分枝杆菌（MTB）。聚合酶链反应分析显示，147份样本中有12份呈阳性，其中5份培养结果也呈阳性。鉴定出四种MTB基因型，其中一种对利福平和异烟肼耐药。考虑到报告的结核病病例数和获得的MTB分离株数量相对较多，该研究还强调了一个特别重要的村庄群落。
