nary tuberculosis were treated with ethionamide I gm. daily (in the form of uncoated tablets) and isoniazid 400 mg. daily. Patients with gross cavitation and extensive disease were excluded. Examination of urine for albumin, blood and bile was carried out weekly; liver function tests (serum albumin, and globulin, serum billrubin, thymol turbidity, alkaline phosphatase) monthly; chest x-ray film and culture of sputum or bronchial lavage specimens monthly.

Coresistance to isoniazid and ethionamide maps to mycothiol biosynthetic genes in Mycobacterium bovis.
A search to identify new mechanisms of isoniazid resistance in Mycobacterium bovis led to the isolation of mutants defective in mycothiol biosynthesis due to mutations in genes coding for the glycosyltransferase (mshA) or the cysteine ligase (mshC). These mutants showed low-level resistance to isoniazid but were highly resistant to ethionamide. This study further illustrates that mutations in m...
متن کاملIn vitro chemotherapeutic combinations against isoniazid-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium fortuitum.
It is an acceptable medical practice to use second-line antimycobacterial drugs in combination with isoniazid in treatment of isoniazid-resistant tuberculosis. Recent investigations have demonstrated the importance of determining chemotherapeutic interaction in instances of multiple antibiotic use. We studied the inhibitory effect of combinations of isoniazid with ethambutol, rifampin, ethionam...

متن کاملInhibitory effect of antituberculosis drugs on human cytochrome P450-mediated activities.
The potential for drug-drug interactions mediated by the inhibition of cytochrome P-450 (CYP) were concerned during antituberculosis therapy. However, the information regarding human CYP inhibition by antituberculosis drugs is limited to isoniazid. In the current study, we examined the inhibitory effects of pyrazinamide and ethionamide, both of which are chemically related to isoniazid, on the ...
متن کاملFast-growing, non-infectious and intracellularly surviving drug-resistant Mycobacterium aurum: a model for high-throughput antituberculosis drug screening.
OBJECTIVES Enoyl acyl-carrier-protein reductase (InhA), the primary endogenous target for isoniazid and ethionamide, is crucial to type-II fatty acid biosynthesis (FAS-II). The objectives of this study were first to generate InhA mutants of Mycobacterium aurum, secondly to characterize InhA-mediated isoniazid and ethionamide resistance mechanisms across those mutants and finally to investigate ...
