Tuberculosis sequencing pipeline resources (2023)听Further to the item below (Workshop and resources: Oxford Nanopore sequencing for tuberculosis, 2022),听 Linzy Elton has developed webpages and videos designed to help people build a pragmatic pipeline for whole genome sequencing (WGS) for sites with little/no access to larger scale Illumina sequencing platforms.听The pipeline is primarily designed to identify antimicrobial resistances (e.g. for hard to treat cases) and lineages (e.g. to identify relapse vs reinfection or non-tuberculous mycobacteria. This is likely to be small-scale (at least at first), to be used in house as an alternative to the potentially expensive or logistically difficult Illumina platform.听The information is available on the PANDORA website ()

Report of the technical consultation on innovative clinical trial designs for evaluating new TB preventive treatments.听(2022)听Virtual meeting,听15-17听September听2021 (published 2022).听 World Health Organization (WHO) Global Tuberculosis Programme, in collaboration with听University College London and other partners, convened a virtual technical consultation听from 15 to 17 September 2021 that focused on innovative clinical trial designs that could be听used for evaluating new tuberculosis (TB) preventive treatments (TPTs). The objectives of听the meeting were to identify and summarize challenges in designing future TPT trials and to听explore innovative designs that could facilitate advances in biomedical TB preventive听interventions and would complement similar developments in other fields relevant to TB听prevention.听Discussions were organized in four main sessions:听Session 1: Models of delivery;听Session 2: Estimating the benefits and harms of TPT;听Session 3: Trial design and analytical approaches;听Session 4: Trial populations.听Yohhei Hamada and Molebogeng (Lele) Rangaka, both from the Institute for听Global Health and the Medical Research Council (MRC) Clinical Trials Unit at University College听London (香港六合彩), drafted the concept note and helped organize the meeting. Elena Pallari and听Genevieve Wills, both also from the MRC Clinical Trials Unit at 香港六合彩, served as meeting听rapporteurs. Others involved from 香港六合彩 included听Angela Crook, David Dunn,听Becky Turner and Ian White (MRC Clinical Trials Unit at 香港六合彩).

WHO consolidated guidelines on tuberculosis: module 3: diagnosis: tests for TB infection. (2022)听听Yohhei Hamada and Lele Rangaka, with colleagues, led a series of systematic reviews that informed the development of the World Health Organization guidelines on the use of听Mycobacterium tuberculosis听antigen-based skin tests. The four reviews each addressed the accuracy, safety, costs and cost-effectiveness of, and feasibility, acceptability, and patient preferences for the use of the new skin tests. The guidelines and the systematic review reports are available on the听.

Workshop and resources: Oxford Nanopore sequencing for tuberculosis. (2022)听. This workshop took place 22-25th August 2022 at the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) at Muhimbili, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. It was jointly run by 香港六合彩 and NIMR.听The aim of the workshop was to provide theoretical and practical training for all of the steps in the tuberculosis Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) sequencing pipeline, from CTAB DNA extraction, DNA quantification best practice, library preparation and setting up a sequencing run, and analysing sequencing data. The workshop was run using a combination of theoretical, laboratory and bioinformatic sessions, with discussion and Q&A sessions throughout the workshop. The website includes links to听the presentations and workshop handbook,听how to set up a sequencing laboratory (aimed at resource constrained laboratories), how to learn sequencing bioinformatics, and听tutorial videos on ONT sequencing.听 The 香港六合彩 team were Linzy Elton and Sylvia Rofael from the 香港六合彩 Centre for Clinical Microbiology.
