Differentiation of Mycobacteria by Susceptibility to Hydroxylamine and 8-azaguanine.
نویسنده
چکیده
In the process of studying conventional methods for differentiation of mycobacteria, a number of compounds were tested in this laboratory. Among them, hydroxylamine and 8-azaguanine were found to be useful. Among slowly growing mycobacteria, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and 11. bovis were distinguished from others by their sensitivity to both compounds; among rapidly growing mycobacteria, fortuitum was distinguished from others by its high resistance to hydroxylamine. The medium used for the tests was composed of: basal solution (1%7sodium glutamate and

Identification of Mycobacterium kansasii by susceptibility to hydroxylamine.
Among biochemical tests useful in the study of mycobacteria, the hydroxylamine test is shown to be an effective tool in the differentiation of Mycobacterium kansasii from saprophytic strains of group III acid-fast bacilli when combined with the photochromogen test.
متن کاملRadiometric selective inhibition tests for differentiation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium bovis, and other mycobacteria.
In the context of a busy reference laboratory, radiometric selective inhibition tests were evaluated for rapid differentiation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis and of the M. tuberculosis complex from other mycobacteria. p-Nitro-alpha-acetylamino-beta-hydroxypropiophenone at 5 micrograms and hydroxylamine hydrochloride at 62.5 and 125 micrograms per ml of 7H12 medium were us...
متن کاملEvaluation Drug Susceptibility of Clinical Isolates of Mycobacterium Simiea Using REMA Plate Method in Mashhad
Introduction: Non-tuberculous species of Mycobacterium are a large group of Mycobacterium and are widely distributed throughout the world. Increased isolation of non-tuberculous mycobacteria from patients with mycobacteria infections in Iranian laboratories was associated with erroneous and unnecessary drug treatment, so that in some cases isolated strains considered as drug resistant strains. ...

متن کاملMolecular 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...
