Between January and September 2012, a teacher and four students at a technical college in Marseille, France, developed pulmonary tuberculosis. All Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from these cases were identical and belonged to the Beijing strain family, multispacer sequence type 72, a rare genotype identified only once in our laboratory in the previous two years. This report highlights once more the potential for M. tuberculosis Beijing strains to cause outbreaks, this time in a school setting.
2012 年 1 月至 9 月期间,法国马赛一所技术学院的一名教师和四名学生罹患肺结核。从这些病例中分离出的所有结核分枝杆菌菌株完全相同,均属于北京家族、多位点序列型 72,这是我们实验室在过去两年中仅发现过一次的罕见基因型。本报告再次强调了北京结核分枝杆菌菌株引起暴发的可能性,此次暴发发生在学校环境中。
