Phenotypic and Genotypic Analysis of Anti-Tuberculosis Drug Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates in Myanmar
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most serious health problems in Myanmar. Because TB drug resistance is associated with genetic mutation(s) relevant to responses to each drug, genotypic methods for detecting these mutations have been proposed to overcome the limitations of classic phenotypic drug susceptibility testing (DST). We explored the current estimates of drug-resistant TB and ...
متن کاملDrug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis among New Tuberculosis Patients, Yangon, Myanmar
274 Emerging Infectious Diseases • Vol. 9, No. 2, February 2003 and no reports of disease transmission were received from any other recipients of organs from this donor. In addition, the patient had no history of receiving infusions of holistic or alternative medicines. The organism was initially detected in the aerobic Bact/Alert blood culture system (bioMérieux, Inc., Durham, NC) after 72 h i...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequences of Two Drug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates from Myanmar
Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and lately, extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB) are increasing global health concerns. Here, we present the genome sequences of two MDR-TB isolates from Myanmar, one of 27 countries with a high MDR-TB burden, and describe a number of mutations consistent with these being XDR-TB isolates.
متن کاملAnti-tuberculosis activity of selected medicinal plants against multi-drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) and extensively-drug resistant (XDR) strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has further complicated the problem of tuberculosis (TB) control. Medicinal plants offer a hope for developing alternate medicines for the treatment of TB. The present study was done to evaluate in vitro anti-tubercular activity of five medicinal plants viz....
متن کاملCharacterization of Tunisian Mycobacterium tuberculosis rifampin-resistant clinical isolates.
Analysis of the gene encoding the beta-subunit of Mycobacterium tuberculosis RNA polymerase (rpoB) has demonstrated a small region that harbors the mutations most frequently associated with rifampin resistance. In this study, we determined the occurrence of rifampin resistance in 544 Tunisian clinical M. tuberculosis strains isolated in a university hospital between 2004 and 2006 by using the s...
