متن کاملGenetic diversity among strains of Mycobacterium avium causing monoclonal and polyclonal bacteremia in patients with AIDS.
To define the genetic diversity among Mycobacterium avium isolates from human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients, specimens were cultured prospectively, and isolates obtained from 14 patients (4 with positive blood, stool, and sputum; 6 with positive blood and stool; 3 with positive blood only; and 1 with positive stool only) were studied. Both serotyping and ribotyping had limited abilit...
متن کاملMycobacterium avium-M. intracellulare isolates from patients with or without acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
Susceptibility testing and serotyping were performed on 57 isolates of Mycobacterium avium-M. intracellulare from patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and 75 isolates from patients without AIDS. Susceptibility patterns and serotypes of AIDS isolates were significantly different from those of non-AIDS isolates. These results may partially explain the poor therapeutic response ...
متن کاملClinical and prognostic importance of serotyping Mycobacterium avium-Mycobacterium intracellulare complex isolates in human immunodeficiency virus-negative patients.
We studied whether the serotypes of Mycobacterium avium-Mycobacterium intracellulare complex (MAC) isolates determine the prognosis for pulmonary MAC disease. We prospectively monitored a cohort of 68 patients with pulmonary MAC disease for whom the serotype-specific glycopeptidolipids in isolates were identified using thin-layer chromatography and fast atom bombardment mass-spectrometry in 199...
متن کاملGenetic Structure of SSR1 & SSR2 loci from Iranian Mycobacterium Avium Subspecies Paratuberculosis Isolates by a Short Sequence Repeat Analysis Approach
Abstract Background and Objective: Paratuberculosis has been repeatedly reported from Iranian ruminant herds. The extrem fastidious nature of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculsos hinders genomic diversity studies of the pathogen. Short Sequence Repeat analysis is one of the genome-based approches recently developed to overcome this d...
