• Molecular characterization of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from Tanga, Tanzania: First insight of MIRU-VNTR and microarray-based spoligotyping in a high burden country 

  Hoza, A. S.; Mfinanga, S. G. M.; Moser, I.; König, B. (Elsevier Ltd, 2016-02-13)

  Molecular typing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis(MTB) has greatly enhanced the understanding of the population structure of MTB isolates and epidemiology of tuberculosis (TB). To characterize prevalent genotypes of MTB, ...

  Hoza, A. S.; Mfinanga, S. G. M.; Moser, I.; König, B. (2017)

  Background: Pulmonary nocardiosis mimic pulmonary tuberculosis in most clinical and radiological manifestations. In Tanzania, where tuberculosis is one of the major public health threat clinical impact of nocardiosis as ...
• The role of nontuberculous mycobacteria in the diagnosis, management and quantifying risks of tuberculosis in Tanga, Tanzania 

  Hoza, A. S.; Lupindu, A. M.; Mfinanga, S. G. M. (2016-04)

  Background: The role of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis is well documented in many developing settings. However, this has not been the case in many resource poor settings like Tanzania. ...
• Increased isolation of nontuberculous mycobacteria among TB suspects in Northeastern, Tanzania: public health and diagnostic implications for control programmes 

  Hoza, A. S.; Mfinanga, S. G. M.; Rodloff, A. C.; Moser, I; König, B. (2016)

  Background: Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are increasingly reported worldwide associated with human disease. Defining the significance of NTM in settings with endemic tuberculosis (TB) requires the discrimination of ...
