Isolation of atypical mycobacteria from clinical material in Malaysia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
During the period 1979-1982, 70 strains of atypical mycobacteria isolated from clinical material were identified as belonging to species or species complex. Twenty-eight out of 61 strains isolated from pulmonary specimens were identified as M. avium-intracellulare. This frequency of association of M. avium-intracellulare with sputa of patients with pulmonary symptoms points to its potential importance and the need for further investigation.

Optimized Method for Isolation of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria from Hospital Aquatic Sources
Background: Aquatic ecosystems are an important source of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) that can cause different diseases in human. Since culture of mycobacteria needs long-term incubation, fast-growing microorganisms and contaminants in the environment usually prevents the isolation of mycobacteria. Here, we compare different treatment protocols and describe a method that increases the rec...
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...
متن کاملThe isolation of chromogenic mycobacteria from laryngeal cultures.
It is known that the cultural characteristics of strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated from tuberculous secretions may be changed under the influence of anti-tuberculosis drugs. It has been suggested that this is due to " biological disintegration" of the bacteria (Lanyi and Eidus, 1954). The process is usually a gradual one. The present report is concerned with the isolation from lary...

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 کاملIsolation and identification of Eurotium species from contaminated rice by morphology and DNA sequencing
30 milled rice samples were collected from retailers in four states of Malaysia. These samples were evaluated for Eurotium spp. contaminations by direct plating on malt extract salt agar (MESA). All Eurotium were isolated and identified based on morphology and nucleotide sequences of internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) and ITS2 of the rDNA. Four Eurotium species (E. rubrum, E. amstelodami, E....
