drug resistance (especially multiple drug resistance) in mycobacterium tuberculosis makes global concerns in treatment and control of tuberculosis. rapid diagnosis of drug resistant strains of the bacteria has vital importance in the prognosis of the disease. the aim of this study was to identify the mutations responsible for drug resistance in mycobacterium tuberculosis strains derived from pa...

Mycobacterium marinum is an unusual atypical mycobacterium with low pathogenicity for humans in comparison with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Among the non-tuberculous mycobacterial pathogens, Mycobacterium marinum is the most common pathogen to cause skin infections. Mycobacterium marinum infection causes chronic cutaneous lesions and in some cases deeper infections such as tenosynovitis, septic...

miliary tuberculosis (tb) is due to hematogenous spread of mycobacterium tuberculosis. clinical manifestations are nonspecific and protean, depending on the predominant site of involvement.we evaluated the clinical manifestations of 15 patients with miliary tb. the diagnosis of miliary tuberculosis was based on the identification of miliary nodules on chest radiography and one of the three foll...

the breast tuberculosis (tb) is an extremely rare manifestation for the reason that mammary cells offer great resistance to the survival and multiplication of mycobacterium infection. the diagnosis is difficult because of nonspecific clinical and radiological findings. it is usually suspected in a multiparous, reproductive woman. we report three cases of tubercular infection of breast confirmed...

conclusions the results of this study demonstrated that the p450 cyp141 gene was successfully cloned into a pet26b plasmid vector as an expression vector. in this paper, for the first time in iran, this gene was cloned for more purposes, including the expression and purification of the recombinant cytochrome p450 cyp141 protein. results the cloning of p450 cyp141 gene was confirmed by the enzym...

introduction: development of effective immunodiagnostic methods for detection of mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is crucial. serodiagnostic methods, based on antibody response to specific antigens could provide promising approaches for rapid, economical and easy to perform diagnostic tests which are crucial for tuberculosis (tb) control. in this study, the level of igg antibody responses a...

dear editor,i read with interest article that published entitled *isolation and identification of bioactive compound producing rhodococcus spp. isolated from soil samples {ijmcm/5(1) (2015) 463-468}* [1]. some of the genus such as nocardia, gordonia, mycobacterium and rhodococcus are in actinomycete family and they are gram-positive and partially acid-fast. rhodococcus species usually stain gra...

Abstract Mycobacteria were isolated from a variety of materials such as soil, peat, humus, tufa, sphagnum, and wood, collected in alpine and subalpine habitats. Mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium kansasii, Mycobacterium malmoense, Mycobacterium szulgai, Mycobacterium gordonae, Mycobacterium terrae, Mycobacterium chelonae, and Mycobacterium fortuitum were recovered from 69 of 81 (85%) samples...
