tuberculosis complex, and sub-culturing intracystic mycobacteria yielded significantly more (P = 0.02) M. avium organisms (34×104 CFU/mL) than M. tuberculosis (42×101 CFU/mL) and M. bovis (35×101 CFU/mL) in the presence of a washing fluid free of mycobacteria. Mycobacteria survived in...
Tuberculosis (TB) is the number one cause of human death due to an infectious disease. The causative agents of TB are a group of closely related bacteria known as the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). As the MTBC exhibits a clonal population structure with low DNA sequence diversity, ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosisis an intracellular pathogen that causes tuberculosis. A member of the orderactinomycetale, tuberculosis bacteria contains a complex cell wall rich in mycolic acids, peptidoglycan and arabinogalactan that surround the cell membrane. The mycobacterial genome ofM. tuberculos...
Mycobacterium tuberculosis complexThis chapter represents that detailed phenotypic methods of identification of mycobacteria. Although some phenotypic characterization remains important, it is now well recognized by experts in mycobacterial taxonomy that current accurate identification of organisms of both the ...

Polymerase chain reaction detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and Mycobacterium avium organisms in formalin-fixed tissues from culture-negative... In the US eradication program for bovine tuberculosis, a definitive diagnosis depends on the isolation of Mycobacterium bovis. However, in some cases...
Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex organisms in clinical samples of cattle by PCR and DNA probe methods. In the present study, the PCR technique was standardized using primers for IS6110 element specific to M. tuberculosis complex group of organisms and amplification was observed with M...
tuberculosis and other pathogenic mycobacteria. Pathogenic mycobacteria have complex lipoidal cell walls. Most of them secrete further lipids which appear as a layer around intracellular organisms. This lipoidal exterior may protect mycobacteria inside macrophages from attempts that t... PR Wheeler,C ...
The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic potential of immunohistochemistry using an antibody to the secreted mycobacterial antigen MPT64, specific for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex organisms, on formalin-fixed biopsies from patients with pleural tuberculosis (TB) from a high TB and HIV...
