Rapid Drug Susceptibility Test of Mycobacteria Tuberculosis by Single Cell Tracking Method in 3d Agarose Matrix
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of major global health problems. To make matters worse, the drug resistant TB such as multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) and extensively drug resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) is spreading out throughout the world which means the drug susceptibility test (DST) is necessary to treat the TB patients. To reduce the time for DST, we applied the single cell tracking me...
متن کاملRapid enzymatic test for phenotypic HIV protease drug resistance.
A phenotypic resistance test based on recombinant expression of the active HIV protease in E. coli from patient blood samples was developed. The protease is purified in a rapid one-step procedure as active enzyme and tested for inhibition by five selected synthetic inhibitors (amprenavir, indinavir, nelfinavir, ritonavir, and saquinavir) used presently for chemotherapy of HIV-infected patients....
متن کاملEvaluation of a Rapid Molecular Drug-Susceptibility Test for Tuberculosis.
BACKGROUND Fluoroquinolones and second-line injectable drugs are the backbone of treatment regimens for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, and resistance to these drugs defines extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis. We assessed the accuracy of an automated, cartridge-based molecular assay for the detection, directly from sputum specimens, of Mycobacterium tuberculosis with resistance to fluoro...
متن کاملRapid urease test for mycobacteria: preliminary observations.
A rapid and sensitive urease test for mycobacteria utilizing a cumulative radiometric technique is described. Definitive results were obtained within a 30-min incubation period. The procedure is simple and economical. Technical time involved is no greater than in conventional procedures.
متن کاملReal time PCR for the rapid identification and drug susceptibility of Mycobacteria present in Bronchial washings
BACKGROUND Mycobacteria have a spectrum of virulence and different susceptibilities to antibiotics. Distinguishing mycobacterial species is vital as patients with non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections present clinical features that are similar to those of patients with tuberculosis. Thus, rapid differentiation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex from NTM is critical to administer app...
