Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalysis of the Utility of MPT64, Drug Susceptibility Testing and Tuberculosis/Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction for Tuberculosis Diagnosis and Efficiency Compared with Traditional CultureHo Keun Choi, Ga Yeon Kim, Tae Soung Kim, Jae Kyung KimDefining the molecular mechanisms underlying the dormant state of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is essential for developing more effective treatments for tuberculosis (TB) infection. We investigated the positivity and resistance rates of TB tests on 6,174 samples referred to a single hospital. Of these, 342 cases (5.5%) were confirmed as positive by acid-fast bacilli staining, 243 cases (71.1%) were detected as … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 5 Dec 2024 · 4,206 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphological Diversity of Isolated Mycobacterial Cultures in the Republic of Kazakhstan: Implications for Diagnostics and TreatmentAssiya Borsynbayeva, Kairat Turgenbayev, Gulzhauhar Sarsenova et al.The study of mycobacterial morphology in the Republic of Kazakhstan is relevant due to the increasing burden of tuberculosis and other mycobacterial diseases. The aim of this study was to comprehensively describe the morphological characteristics of different mycobacterial species identified in Kazakhstan, which will help to improve diagnostic methods and develop new approaches to treatment. Comparative and cross-cultural analyses were … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 1 Dec 2025 · 2,203 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation Rate and Species Distribution of Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria From 2014-2021Tae Soung Kim, Ga Yeon Kim, Young Ki Lee, Jae Kyung KimIn Korea, the incidence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections has decreased; however, the incidence of lung diseases attributed to Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) is increasing. This study aimed to elucidate the isolation rate and distribution of NTM recently isolated at a Korean test center. Respiratory samples for acid-fast bacilli culture collected between January 2014 and December 2021 at a test center in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 13 Nov 2023 · 4,983 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Diversity and Drug Resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Isolates and Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Identification from Presumptive Tuberculosis Cases in Oaxaca, MexicoNakamura-Lopez Yuko, Valencia-Carmona Oscar Daniel, Martinez-Cruz Perla Monica et al.Tuberculosis (TB) is a re-emerging health problem worldwide. In Mexico, information about genetic diversity and drug resistance of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis complex (MTBc) is limited. Samples from 463 Presumptive TB cases were tested for TB by smear, culture and PCR, from which 19.2% were identify as MTBc and 16% as nontuberculous mycobacteria. MTBc isolates were characterized by Large Sequence Polymorphisms (LSPs), … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 9 Feb 2020 · 7,159 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiagnosis Value of Bone Marrow Study in the Disseminated Infection by Mycobacteria: Case ReportAna Guadalupe Mauricio Campos, Francisco De Paz Andres, Paola Beneit et al.The bone marrow examination is useful in order to get an etiologic diagnosis of cytopenias and for the detection of opportunistic diseases in immunocompromised patients. Nevertheless, its role in the diagnosis of invasive infections caused by mycobacterium has not been clearly defined. We describe the case of a 42-year-old woman who was admitted to study anemia, diarrhea and constitutional syndrome … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 9 Oct 2012 · 7,829 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDrug Susceptibility Pattern of M.Tuberculosis Isolated from Patients Attending a Private HospitalD. Sureshkumar, Ram GopalakrishnanProblem statement: Drug resistance in Tuberculosis (TB) is an emerging problem that adversely affects patient outcome and public health in the developing world. Although much of tuberculosis care is provided by the private sector in India, the magnitude of drug resistance in TB in the private sector is not well described. The present study was carried out to determine the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2011 · 7,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMiliary Tuberculosis: A Case ReportZhinous Bayat Makoo, Roshanak Bayat Makoo, Omid MashrabiProblem statement: During the last years it is more than evident that the prevalence of pulmonary and extrapulmonary Tuberculosis (TB), mainly in western European countries, has risen significantly. The aetiology of this phenomenon is multifactorial. Miliary tuberculosis is a form of tuberculosis that is characterized by millet-like seeding of TB bacilli in the lung, as evidenced on chest radiography.
