Tuberculosis Special Section
Perspective
Real-time universal genotyping decreased unnecessary treatment.
Synopsis
Skin testing is recommended for children at risk for this disease.
Research
In this population, ≈90% of M. tuberculosis infections were transmitted by casual contact, and nearly half from HIV-positive patients.
The genotype, endemic in some areas and emerging in others, may be associated with drug-resistance.
Preventive therapy may increase risk for drug resistance.
A national diagnostic service identified M. tuberculosis and rifampin resistance in primary clinical specimens faster than conventional techniques.

Research
Virus is associated with respiratory tract disease in children <5 years of age.
A new subtype H3N1 may have arisen from reassortment of a H3N2 turkey isolate, a human H1N1 isolate, and currently circulating swine viruses.
Entomologic indices can identify areas at high risk for disease transmission.
Historical Review
Disease will likely spread into central Uganda.
Dispatches
Organisms were common in ruminants, swine, and pest flies.
County fairs are a possible venue for animal-to-human pathogen transmission.
Plasmid-mediated qnrA1 is an emerging resistance trait.
