The rationale behind this idea seems to be the scarcity of controlled clinica...
متن کاملMinimal inhibitory concentrations of sulbactam/ampicillin against drug sensitive and drug resistant isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
A total of 92 isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis consisting of equal numbers of sensitive and resistant strains was tested for their susceptibility to sulbactam and ampicillin (in the ratio of 1:2) on Lowenstein-Jensen (LJ) and 7H11 agar media. The geometric mean MIC was 63.97 micrograms/ml for the drug sensitive strains and 65.92 micrograms/ml for the resistant strains, and the overall mea...
متن کاملLow circulation of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains in Cuba
The surveillance of drug resistance, using mycobacterial cultures and in vitro susceptibility tests, allows the estimation of the regional and worldwide magnitude of this phenomenon in tuberculosis. This study, which is part of 3 international projects organized by WHO/UICTER, determined the prevalence of the resistance to antituberculosis drugs in Cuba, during the 1995-2000 period, in both naï...
متن کاملStrategies against multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.

The World Health Organization estimates that 50 million people worldwide are infected with MDR-TB, and that, in the year 20...
