Antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Mycobacterium marinum.
In vitro activities of 17 antibiotics against 53 clinical strains of Mycobacterium marinum, an atypical mycobacterium responsible for cutaneous infections, were determined using the reference agar dilution method. Rifampin and rifabutin were the most active drugs (MICs at which 90% of the isolates tested were inhibited [MIC(90)s], 0.5 and 0.6 microgram/ml, respectively). MICs of minocycline (MI...
متن کاملDrug susceptibility pattern of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates against conventional anti-tuberculosis drugs in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the drug susceptibility pattern of isolated Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) against conventional anti-tuberculosis drugs in Dhaka, Bangladesh. METHODS Sputum samples from 101 suspected new and previously treated patients were collected and M. tuberculosis was identified by microscopic observation and Ziehl-Neelsen staining. Drug susceptibility was perform...
متن کاملMycobacterium tuberculosis spoligotypes and drug susceptibility pattern of isolates from tuberculosis patients in South-Western Uganda
BACKGROUND Determination of the prevalence and drug susceptibility of the M. tuberculosis strains is important in tuberculosis control. We determined the genetic diversity and susceptibility profiles of mycobacteria isolated from tuberculosis patients in Mbarara, South Western Uganda. METHODS We enrolled, consecutively; all newly diagnosed and previously treated smear-positive TB patients age...
متن کاملMycobacterium tuberculosis and sulfamethoxazole susceptibility.
We noted with interest the paper by Forgacs et al. (2) reporting on a case of tuberculosis with an apparent response to treatment with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) and the subsequent in vitro studies indicating that the majority of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains may be susceptible to TMP-SMX. As the Forgacs paper implied that it is the sulfonamide component of TMP-SMX that has an...
متن کاملPorins increase copper susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Copper resistance mechanisms are crucial for many pathogenic bacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, during infection because the innate immune system utilizes copper ions to kill bacterial intruders. Despite several studies detailing responses of mycobacteria to copper, the pathways by which copper ions cross the mycobacterial cell envelope are unknown. Deletion of porin genes in Mycob...
