Non‐exponential growth of Mycobacterium leprae Thai‐53 strain cultured in vitro
In this study, attempts were made to culture this bacterium in media supplemented with a variety of biological materials to determine why cultivation of Mycobacterium leprae in vitro has not this far been successful. A slight increase in the number of cells in medium supplemented with human blood plasma and an extract of nude mouse tissue as observed after more than 3 months of cultivation at 3...
متن کاملCultivation and Viability Determination of Mycobacterium leprae
Mycobacterium leprae, despite being recognized as a human pathogen over 140 years ago, remains uncultivable in microbiological culture media or in cell culture systems. Although it is now well established that M. leprae prefers cooler temperatures, slightly acidic microaerophilic conditions, and lipids rather than sugars as an energy source, the exact parameters for a defined axenic medium that...
متن کاملWater Soluble Palmitic Acid in Media for Cultivation of Leprosy Derived Psychrophilic Mycobacteria from Mycobacterium Leprae Infected Tissues
A unique marker of Mycobacterium (M) leprae is that it cannot derive energy, use carbon sources, or substrates for biosynthetic purposes, whereas other mycobacteria utilize these for multiplication. This is just one reason why M. leprae, although provided with a complete Krebs cycle, a functional electron transport chain and cytochrome system, as well as measurable endogenous respiration, does ...
متن کاملApplication of diffusion chamger technic to the cultivation of Mycobacterium lepraemurium. I. In vivo studies.
Numerous studies have so far been conducted on the cultivation of Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepraemurium. However, no media-bound method of cultivation has been established. A number of investigators have reported that M. lepraemurium may be cultivated by cell culture technics. The method employed by Chang (1. 2. 3 ), Chang and Neikirk (4), Chang, Anderson and Vaituzis (~), in whic...
متن کاملA RAPID AND SIMPLE METHOD OF DNA EXTRACTION FROM CLINICAL SPECIMENS CONTAINING MYCOBACTERIUM LEPRAE FOR PCR ASSAYS
We describe a rapid, simple, and reliable procedure for routine isolation of Mycobacterium leprae DNA from slit-skin swab specimens. This one-step DNA extraction method is based on the utilization of ChelexR 100, a chelating ion exchange resin. Slit-skin swab specimens from seven untreated leprosy patients at Baba Baghi Leprosy Hospital in Iran were processed by this procedure. The polymer...
