Three Mycobacterium genavense strains and three American Type Culture Collection reference strains each of Mycobacterium fortuitum, Mycobacterium simiae, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis were subcultured onto Mycobacteria 7H11 agar (Difco Laboratories, Detroit, Mich.) supplemented with mycobactin J
BACKGROUND
In Mexico, plants are an important element of traditional medicine, and many are considered part of Mexican cultural heritage from prehispanic and colonial times. Nevertheless, relatively few systematic scientific studies have been conducted to fully characterize the chemical composition
Phthienoic acids constitute a family of dextro-rotary odd-numbered unsaturated fatty acids isolated exclusively from virulent strains of human and bovine tubercle bacilli. In the bacterial cell they are not free and a search for their linked form in complex wall lipids of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Capillary gas chromatography of cellular fatty acids and alcohols has been used as a routine method for a period of two years in the mycobacterial diagnostic laboratory of Statens institutt for folkehelse, Oslo, Norway. All mycobacteria (165 isolates) other than Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MOTT) and
The mechanism of action of isoniazid (INH), a first-line antituberculosis drug, is complex, as mutations in at least five different genes (katG, inhA, ahpC, kasA, and ndh) have been found to correlate with isoniazid resistance. Despite this complexity, a preponderance of evidence implicates inhA,
