Rapid susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37Ra) by flow cytometry.
The resurgence of tuberculosis has caused considerable effort to be focused on the development of rapid methods for determining the susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to antimycobacterial agents. We demonstrated that susceptibility testing of M. tuberculosis can be accomplished rapidly by using flow cytometry. Results of tests were available within 24 h after M. tuberculosis organisms...
متن کاملRapid pyrazinamide susceptibility testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by flow cytometry.
The resurgence of tuberculosis along with the increased resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has emphasized the need for timely susceptibility testing for control of the disease. Previous studies have shown that rapid susceptibility testing can be accomplished for isoniazid, ethambutol, and rifampin using the flow cytometric assays. In this study we compared the flow cytometric susceptibili...
متن کاملDetermination of in vitro susceptibility of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to cephalosporins by radiometric and conventional methods.
Among eight cephalosporins and cephamycins tested in preliminary in vitro screening against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the most promising for further study was found to be ceforanide, followed by ceftizoxime, cephapirin, and cefotaxime. Moxalactam, cefoxitin, cefamandole, and cephalothin were found to be not active enough against M. tuberculosis to be considered for further in vitro studies. T...
متن کاملin–vitro susceptibility of mycobacterium tuberculosis to amoxicillin–clavulanate
background the evidence of rapid spread of multidrug resistant mycobacterium tuberculosis (mdr–tb) strains especially in high risk communities, persuade clinicians to find new drugs for this problem. β– lactams with few or no side effects has been reviewed as an alternative drugs for this issue. this study carried out to determine the effectiveness of amoxicillin–clavulanate in a group of irani...
متن کاملFlow cytometry as a tool to identify Mycobacterium tuberculosis interaction with the immune system and drug susceptibility.
Flow cytometric analysis is a useful and widely employed tool to identify immunological alterations caused by different microorganisms, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, this tool can be used for several others analysis. We will discuss some applications for flow cytometry to the study of M. tuberculosis, mainly on cell surface antigens, mycobacterial secreted proteins, their inter...
