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...

Structural studies on the myo-inositol phospholipids of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (var. bovis, strain BCG).

During the last few years, the myo-inositol-containing phospholipids have elicited considerable interest from biochemists because of their possible dynamic functions in cell membranes. Parallel with this interest in function has been a concerted attack on the problem of elucidating the detailed structures of these complex substances. In general, the more definitive results have come from the la...

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 ...

Growth Requirements of Dysgonic and Eugonic Strains of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Var. Bovis

The nutritional requirements of dysgonic and eugonic bovine tubercle bacilli were investigated in liquid Tween-albumin medium. The following conclusions were reached:- Dysgonic bovine tubercle bacilli require for multiplication long chain fatty acids which can be supplied as oleic, palmitic, or stearic acid whereas eugonic bovine strains can grow in the absence of fatty acid and can utilize glu...
