Therapeutic implications of nanoencapsulated M. avium / HIV drugs against experimental tuberculosis in mice
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Therapeutic management of Mycobacterium avium infection is inadequate due to patient non-compliance, lengthy treatment regimen, multidrug associated toxic side-effects etc. particularly in AIDS patients who are at a greater risk of developing mycobacterial infection. This study was designed to evaluate chemotherapeutic potential of poly D, L-lactide-co-glycolide nanoparticles against M. avium infection in mice.

Comparison of bactericidal activities of streptomycin, amikacin, kanamycin, and capreomycin against Mycobacterium avium and M. tuberculosis.
The bactericidal activities of four injectable antituberculosis drugs, streptomycin, amikacin, kanamycin, and capreomycin, against Mycobacterium avium and M. tuberculosis were tested. All four drugs were highly bactericidal against M. tuberculosis, with low MBC/MIC ratios and MBCs significantly lower than the maximum achievalbe concentrations in serum (Cmax). In contrast, all four drugs had ver...

Risk of Mycobacterium avium complex disease was examined in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with and without a history of tuberculosis. Information was obtained by retrospective review of charts of patients in HIV clinics in 10 US cities. Among 1363 patients with <200 CD4 cells/mm3 seen at Grady Memorial Hospital (GMH), 11 (17%) of 66 with a history of a positive purified p...
متن کاملTherapeutic efficacy of the benzoxazinorifamycin KRM-1648 against experimental Mycobacterium avium infection induced in rabbits.
The therapeutic efficacy of the benzoxazinorifamycin KRM-1648 was studied in an experimental rabbit infection system with avian Mycobacterium avium. The infected rabbits died from Yersin type infections, a peculiar type of experimental bovine tuberculosis characterized by a very rapid course, enlargement of the spleen and liver, and septic infection, 14 to 20 days after bacterial challenge, as ...
متن کاملActivities of isoniazid alone and in combination with other drugs against Mycobacterium avium infection in beige mice.
Monotherapy with isoniazid or amikacin or clarithromycin or combinations of two of these drugs showed nil to modest therapeutic activity in beige mice infected with Mycobacterium avium. However, the combination of all three, isoniazid-amikacin-clarithromycin, markedly reduced CFUs in both spleens and lungs after 91 days of infection.
متن کاملStudy 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...
