Susceptibility of Mycobacterium bovis BCG vaccine strains to antituberculous antibiotics

Susceptibility of Mycobacterium bovis BCG vaccine strains to antituberculous antibiotics
Susceptibility of Mycobacterium bovis BCG vaccine strains to antituberculous antibiotics
Mycobacterium bovis BCG is one of the most commonly administered vaccines. Complications, including disseminated BCG disease, are rare but increasingly reported in immunodeficient children. There is growing recognition of the importance of differences between BCG vaccine strains. We determined the susceptibilities of five genetically distinct BCG vaccine strains to 12 antituberculous drugs.

Abstract

Mycobacterium bovis BCG is one of the most commonly administered vaccines. Complications, including disseminated BCG disease, are rare but increasingly reported in immunodeficient children. There is growing recognition of the importance of differences between BCG vaccine strains. We determined the susceptibilities of five genetically distinct BCG vaccine strains to 12 antituberculous drugs.
