Mycolic acid index susceptibility method for Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
A rapid drug susceptibility test to measure the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to isoniazid (INH) and rifampin (RIF) using clinical isolates and a newly defined mycolic acid index (MAI) was evaluated. A total of 200 clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis were tested for susceptibility or resistance to INH and RIF by the MAI susceptibility and indirect-proportion methods. Overall, th...
متن کاملDrug Susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosisThrough the Mycolic Acid Index.
The methods accepted to determine antimicrobial drug susceptibility of mycobacteria are based on the determination of the microorganisms' growth on solid or liquid medium containing a specified concentration of a single drug.
متن کاملRapid, standardized method for determination of Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug susceptibility by use of mycolic acid analysis.
Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis and extrensively drug-resistant (XDR) M. tuberculosis are emerging public health threats whose threats are compounded by the fact that current techniques for testing the susceptibility of M. tuberculosis require several days to weeks to complete. We investigated the use of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-based quantitation of my...
متن کاملCrystal structures of mycolic acid cyclopropane synthases from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Mycolic acids are major components of the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Several studies indicate that functional groups in the acyl chain of mycolic acids are important for pathogenesis and persistence. There are at least three mycolic acid cyclopropane synthases (PcaA, CmaA1, and CmaA2) that are responsible for these site-specific modifications of mycolic acids. To derive informatio...
متن کاملThree types of mycolic acid from Mycobacterium tuberculosis Brévanne: implications for structure-function relationships in pathogenesis.
Saponification of the chloroform-soluble wax from Mycobacterium tuberculosis Brévanne led to the isolation of three classes of mycolic acid containing characteristic functional groups along the methylene backbone: type alpha (two cyclopropane rings); type beta (methoxyl, methyl, and cyclopropane); and type gamma (ketone, methyl, and cyclopropane). The structures of these acids were elucidated p...
