Biofilms of Mycobacterium tuberculosis: New Perspectives of an Old Pathogen
Based on a randomized clinical trial conducted by British Medical Council between 1972 and 1974, the World Health Organization (WHO) and other government agencies implemented a short-course multi-drug regimen for tuberculosis – a disease caused by the infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (BMC, 1972, Fox et al., 1999). The regimen is made of three antibiotics, isoniazid, rifampicin and pyrazi...
متن کاملVariable host-pathogen compatibility in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Studies have reported human pathogens to have geographically structured population genetics, some of which have been linked to ancient human migrations. However, no study has addressed the potential evolutionary consequences of such longstanding human-pathogen associations. Here, we demonstrate that the globa...
متن کاملNovel Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Pathogen, M. mungi
Seven outbreaks involving increasing numbers of banded mongoose troops and high death rates have been documented. We identified a Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex pathogen, M. mungi sp. nov., as the causative agent among banded mongooses that live near humans in Chobe District, Botswana. Host spectrum and transmission dynamics remain unknown.
متن کاملBacteremia with an Unusual Pathogen: Mycobacterium neoaurum
Mycobacterium neoaurum (M. neoaurum) is an infrequently encountered cause of infection in humans. It is a member of the rapidly growing mycobacteria family. It predominately afflicts those with a compromised immune status and a chronically indwelling vascular access. Isolation of this organism is challenging yet the advent of 16s ribosomal sequencing paved the way for more sensitive detection. ...
متن کاملMultiple Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections in an HIV-infected patient.
Mycobacterial colonies of two different morphologies were isolated from one sputum sample of a HIV-positive patient. One morphological type was resistant to streptomycin (STR) and susceptible to isoniazid (INH), while the other isolate with different colony morphology was resistant to both of these anti-TB drugs. A mycobacterial isolate of one pus from a lymph node sample was resistant to these...
