Nutritional characteristics of the atypical mycobacteria.

Molecular Identification and Conventional Susceptibility Testing of Iranian Clinical Mycobacterium fortuitum Isolates

Objective(s) Rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) are capable of producing diseases in humans. Since mycobacteria vary in their susceptibility, precise identification is critical for adoption of correct drug therapy. The main aim of this study was molecular identification and evaluation of antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Iranian clinically isolated Myocbacterium fortuitum. Materials and...

A study on characteristics of atypical mycobacteria isolated from sputum specimens in Korea.

Evaluation of Human Serological Response to Recombinant TB10.4 Antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

  Introduction: Development of effective immunodiagnostic methods for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is crucial. Serodiagnostic methods, based on antibody response to specific antigens could provide promising approaches for rapid, economical and easy to perform diagnostic tests which are crucial for tuberculosis (TB) control. In this study, the level of IgG antibody responses...

Study of HIV seroprevalence in Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients with Special Reference to Multidrug Resistant Mycobacteria

This study was planned to determine HIV seroprevalence among pulmonary tuberculosis patients, to characterize the isolated mycobacteria into typical and atypical strains and to evaluate the drug resistant pattern of mycobacterial isolates. The study aims to correlate multidrug resistance (MDR) and HIV seropositivity status in pulmonary tuberculosis patients. During the year 1994-1997, 750 pulmo...

Atypical Mycobacteria with Reference to Porcine Mycobacteriose in Japan By HISASHI NEMOTO

In veterinary medicine the increasing attentions have been paid to the potential role of atypical mycobacteria as opportunist pathogens in animal health as a result of the successful contl'ol of bovine tuberculosis, as reviewed by Kazdall. This tendency will be partially explained from the fact that one is tempted to interpret the occuHence of the so-called no visible lesion reactors, a very pe...
