GROWTH OF MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS VAR. HOMINIS IN AGITATED CULTURE

Growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis var. hominis in agitated culture.

The in vitro effect of analogs of vitamin K on Mycobacterium tuberculosis var. hominis, strain H37Rv.

Phthiocol, the pigment isolated from Mycobacterium tuberculosis var. hominis, strain H37, by Anderson and Newman (1933a), has a structural formula identical with that of vitamin K, except for the substitution of a hydroxyl group for the phytyl radical on its third carbon. The synthesis of this antihemorrhagic vitamin by Mycobacterium tuberculosis var. hominis was noted in animal experiments by ...

The Effect of "Tween 80," Bovine Albumin, Glycerol, and Glucose on the Growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis var. hominis (H37Rv).

In a series of publications (Dubos, 1945; Dubos and Davis, 1946; Davis and Dubos, 1946a; Davis and Dubos, 1946b; Dubos, 1946; Dubos, Davis, Middlebrook, and Pierce, 1946; Dubos, 1947; Davis and Dubos, 1947; Dubos and Middlebrook, 1947) the addition of certain wetting agents to synthetic culture media used for the growth of virulent tubercle bacilli has been advocated. The synthetic nonionic det...

Autolysis and secondary growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in submerged culture.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been found to exhibit autolysis and spontaneous secondary growth in modified Sauton medium. The phenomenon is a function of high glycerol concentration of the medium and limitation of air in test tubes. It is not a function of depletion of nutrients and is probably not a manifestation of lysogeny or spheroplast formation. The cycle of growth, autolysis, and second...

A 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...
