The Recovery of Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare Complex (MAC) from the Residential Bathrooms of Patients with Pulmonary MAC
Yukiko Nishiuchi,Ryoji Maekura,Seigo Kitada,Aki Tamaru,Takahiro Taguri,Yukimi Kira,Toru Hiraga,Atsushi Hirotani,Kenji Yoshimura,Mari Miki,Masami Ito +10 more
TL;DR: The distribution of Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex in residences was examined and the genotypes of environmental isolates were identical to their respective clinical isolates for 2 patients.
Surveillance of severe invasive group-G streptococcal infections and molecular typing of the isolates in Japan.
Tadayoshi Ikebe,Shoko Murayama,K. Saitoh,S. Yamai,R. Suzuki,Junko Isobe,D. Tanaka,Chihiro Katsukawa,Aki Tamaru,A. Katayama,Y. Fujinaga,K. Hoashi,Haruo Watanabe +12 more
TL;DR: The number of patients with severe invasive group-G streptococcal infections has been increasing in Japan and the emm genotypes and SmaI-digested pulsed-field gel electrophoresis DNA profiles were variable among the strains isolated, suggesting there has not been clonal expansion of a specific subpopulation of strains.

Characterization of the rpsL and rrs genes of streptomycin‐resistant clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Japan
TL;DR: In the total 36 streptomycin‐resistant isolates, the mutation of the rpsL or rrs gene was observed in 28 streptomecin‐ resistant isolate, corresponding to 77·8%, whereas none of the streptomcin‐sensitive isolates had mutations in either the rPSL orrrs gene.

Serotyping of Streptococcus pyogenes isolated from common and severe invasive infections in Japan, 1990-5: implication of the T3 serotype strain-expansion in TSLS. The Working Group for Group A Streptococci in Japan.
Y. Inagaki,T. Konda,Shoko Murayama,S. Yamai,A. Matsushima,Y. Gyobu,D. Tanaka,Aki Tamaru,Chihiro Katsukawa,A. Katayama,M. Tomita,Y. Fuchi,K. Hoashi,Haruo Watanabe +13 more
TL;DR: Results may indicate that certain clones of S. pyogenes are involved in the pathogenesis of the TSLS, and dominant-serotype strains of streptococcal infections did not always induce severe infections and dominance of T3 serotype in the TS LS seemed to be correlated with the increase of T 3 in streptitiscal infections.

Naked eye detection of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex by recombinase polymerase amplification-SYBR green I assays.
Nuntita Singpanomchai,Yukihiro Akeda,Kazunori Tomono,Aki Tamaru,Pitak Santanirand,Panan Ratthawongjirakul +5 more
TL;DR: Isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) was developed to detect specific targets of Mtb, IS6110 and IS1081 and SYBR Green I was used for endpoint detection of the RPA products by the naked eye.
