Investigating the Effects of Changing Pattern AIDS Transmission on Prevalence Mycobacterium Tuberculosis in Patients with HIV by Microscopic and Molecular Methods

Synthetic iridium-, rhodium-, and ruthenium-amino acid complexes with hydrophobic l-amino acids have antibiotic activity against Mycobacterium spp., including Mycobacterium bovis BCG and the rapidly growing species Mycobacterium abscessus and Mycobacterium chelonae. Concentrations of transition metal-amino acid complexes demonstrating hemolysis or cytotoxicity were 10- to 25-fold higher than we...

A new DNA probe assay (INNO LiPA Mycobacteria; Innogenetics, Ghent, Belgium) for the simultaneous identification, by means of reverse hybridization and line-probe technology, of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, Mycobacterium kansasii, Mycobacterium xenopi, Mycobacterium gordonae, the species of the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), Mycobacterium scrofulaceum, and Mycobacterium chelonae was ...

Cystic fibrosis patients are highly susceptible to infections with non-tuberculous mycobacteria. Especially Mycobacterium abscessus infections are common but reliable diagnosis is hampered by non-specific clinical symptoms and insensitive mycobacterial culture. In the present study we established novel methods for rapid detection and immune characterization of Mycobacterium abscessus infection ...

Mycobacterium chelonae is a rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacterium and rare cause of cutaneous infection in both immunocompromised immunocompetent patients. The skin lesions are non-specific nature, so that the remains underdiagnosed diagnosis often delayed. Herein, we report case an 83-year-old woman with 6-month history persistent lesions. were previously misdiagnosed treated as herpes ...

A new type of slowly growing, nonphotochromogenic mycobacterium was recovered from two patients with disseminated disease. The growth characteristics, acid fastness, acids were consistent with those for Mycobacterium species. The results of biochemical investigations, lipid analyses, and comparative 16S rRNA sequencing showed that these isolates represent a new slowly growing Mycobacterium spec...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the main cause of tuberculosis (TB), has still remained a global health crisis especially in developing countries. Tuberculosis treatment is a laborious and lengthy process with high risk of non compliance, cytotoxicity adverse events and drug resistance in patient. Recently, there has been an alarming rise of drug resistant in TB. In this regard, it is an unmet need...

The focus of our study is the synthesis and biological activity evaluation of a series of 4H-Pyran compounds and schiff bases fused 4H-Pyran derivatives which are known to possess a wide variety of biological activities. In this paper at first a simple and efficient one-pot synthesis of 4H-Pyran s from the three-component reaction between malononitrile, aldehydes, and active methylene compounds...
