Rapid detection of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.
Transmission of multidrug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR-TB) presents a serious problem for infection control in hospitals, particularly in the context of co-infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We report on the use of molecular genetic tools to allow rapid assessment of samples from patients potentially infected with MDR-TB. Sputum and bronchoalveolar la...
متن کاملRapid detection of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis
online | memorias.ioc.fiocruz.br Early detection of drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates allows for appropriate and timely treatment (Martin et al. 2008). There are many welldefined phenotypic methods for testing the drug susceptibility of M. tuberculosis. The proportion method, performed on Löwenstein-Jensen and 7H10 or 7H11 agar media, is recommended as a reference method. H...
متن کاملMultidrug-resistant Tuberculosis Detection, Latvia
To improve multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) detection, we successfully introduced the rpoB gene mutation line probe assay into the national laboratory in Latvia, a country with epidemic MDR-TB. The assay detected rifampin resistance with 91% sensitivity and 96% specificity within 1 to 5 days (vs. 12-47 days for BACTEC).
متن کاملAudiological Evaluation of Patients Taking Kanamycin for Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis
Introduction: The incidence of multidrug resistant tuberculosis is increasing in developing countries. Aminoglycosides are an integral part of second-line drugs, however ototoxicity is a major limitation for their use. This study aims to determine the extent of hearing loss in patients taking one of the commonly prescribed drugs for Multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), Kanamycin, at a Gov...
متن کاملThe Incidence of Amikacin Ototoxicity in Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis Patients
Amikacin has been shown to irreversibly suppressCochlear activity.The aim of this study is to assess the incidence of amikacinototoxicity in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patients and riskfactors associated withthis ototoxicity.In this cross-sectional study, 41 patientswith multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) were included.All patients received fixed dose of intravenous amikacin(500 mg...
