ADVANCE TOOLS FOR DETECTION OF MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS: A Review
نویسنده
چکیده
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a pathogenic organism, which causes high morbidity and mortality in human being. The disease tuberculosis is commonly seen in immunocompromised patients. M. tuberculosis takes time to grow on culture medium (Lowenstein-Jensen medium) for drug susceptibility testing to avoid delay, now a day molecular techniques are introduced in many developing countries including India, the new technique i.e. line probe assay it gives the results of drug susceptibility within 2-3 hours. It can be minimizing the rate of morbidity and mortality due drug resistance strain. The techniques have good specificity and sensitivity.

RAPID DETECTION OF MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS IN CLINICAL SPECIMENS BY POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION
We investigated the use of DNA amplification by polymerase chain reaction (peR) for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 300 patients who were suspected of having pulmonary tuberculosis and compared the results with culture results which were performed in parallel with PCR. Two-thirds of each sample was processed for smear and culture by standard methods and one-third was prepared fo...

متن کاملIdentification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis adherence-mediating components: a review of key methods to confirm adhesin function
Anti-adhesion therapy represents a potentially promising avenue for the treatment and prevention of tuberculosis in a post-antibiotic era. Adhesins are surface-exposed microbial structures or molecules that enable pathogenic organisms to adhere to host surfaces, a fundamental step towards host infection. Although several Mycobacterium tuberculosis adhesins have been identified, it is predicted ...
