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...
Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is characterized by a strong inflammatory response whereby a few infected macrophages within the granuloma induce sustained cellular accumulation. The mechanisms coordinating this response are poorly characterized. We hypothesized that microparticles (MPs), which are submicron, plasma membrane-derived vesicles released by cells under both physiological and p...
A rapid, inexpensive, simple, and accurate multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was developed in a single tube for identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Assessment of sensitivity and specificity of simple PCR was performed with 116 strains of M. tuberculosis complex (MTC) and 144 strains of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) compared with the biochemical method. Specific amplificati...
To compare the sensitivity of 2 microscopic methods for diagnosis Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) along with culture and drug susceptibility testing to first line drugs. : The cross-sectional study comprises 200 suspected cases pulmonary both clinically radiologically in KIMS, Bangalore over a period years. Samples (sputum/BAL fluid) were collected, processed stained by Ziehl Neelson (ZN) Flu...
Mycobacteria are an important cause of morbidity in humans. Rapid and accurate mycobacterial identification is important for improving patient outcomes. However, identification of Mycobacterium species is not easy, due to the slow and fastidious growth of mycobacteria. Recently, biochemical, sequencing, and probing methods have come to be used for identification. This study compared the perform...
Pathogens that are transmitted between the environment, wildlife, livestock and humans represent major challenges for the protection of human and domestic animal health, the economic sustainability of agriculture, and the conservation of wildlife. Among such pathogens, the genus Mycobacterium is well represented by M. bovis, the etiological agent of bovine tuberculosis, M. avium ssp. paratuberc...
We have previously shown that young adults living in a rural area of northern Malawi showed greater gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) responses to purified protein derivatives (PPD) prepared from environmental mycobacteria than to PPD from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In order to define the mycobacterial species to which individuals living in a rural African population have been exposed and sensitize...
The general lack of permeability small molecules observed for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is most ascribed to its unique cell envelope. More specifically, the outer mycomembrane hypothesized be principal determinant access antibiotics their molecular targets. We describe a novel assay that combines metabolic tagging peptidoglycan, which sits directly beneath mycomembrane, click chemistry t...
In this manuscript we apply stochastic modeling to investigate the risk of reactivation of latent mycobacterial infections in patients undergoing treatment with tumor necrosis factor inhibitors. First, we review the perspective proposed by one of the authors in a previous work and which consists in predicting the occurrence of reactivation of latent tuberculosis infection or newly acquired tube...
Coinfection with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and opportunistic mycobacteria, especially Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is a cause of high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Both mycobacteria and HIV-1 may infect macrophages, and thus, coinfection may generate conditions that reciprocally influence the intracellular replication of the pathogens. Elucidation of the interaction betwee...
