Clinical concentrations of thioridazine kill intracellular multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
The phenothiazines chlorpromazine (CPZ) and thioridazine (TZ) have equal in vitro activities against antibiotic-sensitive and -resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. These compounds have not been used as anti-M. tuberculosis agents because their in vitro activities take place at concentrations which are beyond those that are clinically achievable. In addition, chronic administration of CPZ produ...
متن کاملEvaluation of moxifloxacin activity in vitro against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including resistant and multidrug-resistant strains.
The new quinolone moxifloxacin was tested against 86 strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis including 13 resistant and 4 multiresistant strains. The antimicrobial susceptibility was tested, in parallel, using two different liquid media, the radiometric Bactec 12B and the Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube (Becton Dickinson, USA). All strains but two were susceptible at 0.5 microg/ml of moxifloxa...
متن کاملAntimycobacterial assessment of Salicylanilide benzoates including multidrug-resistant tuberculosis strains.
The increasing emergence especially of drug-resistant tuberculosis has led to a strong demand for new anti-tuberculosis drugs. Eighteen salicylanilide benzoates were evaluated for their inhibition potential against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium avium and two strains of Mycobacterium kansasii; minimum inhibitory concentration values ranged from 0.5 to 16 μmol/L. The most active...
متن کاملLow circulation of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains in Cuba
The surveillance of drug resistance, using mycobacterial cultures and in vitro susceptibility tests, allows the estimation of the regional and worldwide magnitude of this phenomenon in tuberculosis. This study, which is part of 3 international projects organized by WHO/UICTER, determined the prevalence of the resistance to antituberculosis drugs in Cuba, during the 1995-2000 period, in both naï...
متن کاملMicroRNA signatures from multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) infections, caused by multidrug‑resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR MTB), remain a significant public health concern worldwide. The regulatory mechanisms underlying the emergence of MDR MTB strains remain to be fully elucidated, and further investigation is required in order to develop better strategies for TB control. The present study investigated the expression profil...
