Genetic diversity of Iranian clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
In the current study we aimed to execute a rather less complicated molecular tying method, i.e. the random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis to find the heterogeneity of Iranian strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The isolates comprised a total of 96 strains of M. tuberculosis collected from clinical specimens of patients in Isfahan and Tehran. The isolates were assigned to th...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates from Inner Mongolia, China
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious public health problem in China, and within China, Inner Mongolia has a high prevalence area of TB. Though studies on the genetic diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) have been reported in many provinces, there are no such studies to date in Inner Mongolia. In this study, we investigated the genetic diversity of MTB in Inner Mongolia. METHODOL...
متن کاملGene Dropping Analysis of Founder Contributions and Allelic Diversity in an under Selected Population of Japanese Quails
The current study was conducted to consider how pedigree and the gene-dropping analysis can use to monitor genetic diversity, and to recommend a breeding strategy for improving breast weight (BRW) in a population of Japanese quail. A total of 312 birds were divided equally into two lines. One line (S1) was selected for four-week body weight (BW) based on breeding value, and the other (S2) was s...
متن کاملA STUDY OF MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS DRUG RESISTANCE IN PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS
Tuberculosis remains a major public health problem in both developing and developed countries. Drug-resistant tuberculosis is an increasing health problem and serious challenge to tuberculosis (TB) control programs. Information about the susceptibility pattern of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates against anti-tuberculosis drugs is an important aspect to TB control. The objectives of the s...
متن کاملEfficacy of nitazoxanide against clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Nitazoxanide (NTZ) has bactericidal activity against the H37Rv laboratory strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with a MIC of 16 μg/ml. However, its efficacy against clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis has not been determined. We found that NTZ's MIC against 50 clinical isolates ranged from 12 to 28 μg/ml with a median of 16 μg/ml and was unaffected by resistance to first- or second-line antitu...
