Antimycobacterial activity of indigenous South African plants.
South Africa has a heavy burden of tuberculosis (TB); an incidence of 526 cases per 100 000 of the population makes it one of the highest in the world. Along with other severely affected countries in eastern and southern Africa, there is a significant degree of coinfection with HIV and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB).

متن کاملMolecular identification of aflatoxigenic Aspergillus species in feedstuff samples
Background and Purpose: Aflatoxins are naturally produced by some species of Aspergillus, such as A. flavus and A. parasiticus. Aflatoxins reportedly have carcinogenic effects on human, poultry, and livestock, and therefore could be linked to severe human illnesses. Aflatoxin biosynthesis pathway involves different clustered genes, including structural, regular, and unassigned genes. The presen...
متن کاملIn vitro susceptibility of aflatoxigenic and non-aflatoxigenic Aspergillus flavus strains to conventional antifungal agents.
Presently appearance of resistance to antifungal agents among Aspergillus species is dramatically increasing. The objective of this study was to look at the in vitro activities of antifungal drugs against Iranian clinical (from nail, bronchoalveolar lavage, paranasal sinus) isolated A. flavus strains. The susceptibility of 45 aflatoxigenic and non-aflatoxigenic Aspergillus flavus strains were e...
