ANTIBIOTIC-RESISTANT BACTERIA J.J.Klawe,M.Tafil-Klawe, inEncyclopedia of Food Sciences and Nutrition (Second Edition), 2003 Mycobacterium tuberculosis Treatment of infections ofMycobacterium tuberculosishas always been a complicated process, often requiring a combination of two or three different drugs tak...
Tuberculosis spreads through the air when a person with active pulmonary infection coughs or sneezes. M. tuberculosis are acid-fast, slowly growing bacteria that can survive in macrophages, allowing for a latent infection that can remain asymptomatic for decades, posing a challenge to diagnosis, ...

multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is defined as a form of TB infection caused by bacteria that are resistant to treatment with at least two of the most powerful first-line anti-TB drugs, isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RMP).
(Fig.3d) or mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs; Fig.3e). The differential pattern of IL-1β expression is thus independent of the host and its TB status, being instead strongly dictated by the infecting bacteria. Of note, the differential response observed was also independent of ...
tuberculosis can evolve from containment in the host, in which the bacteria are isolated within granulomas (latent TB infection), to a contagious state, in which the patient will show symptoms that can include cough, fever, night sweats and weight loss. Only active pulmonary TB is contagious....

The number of cases of cutaneous tuberculosis (CTB) is increasing concomitantly with the increase of pulmonary tuberculosis. Migration, increasing immunosuppression factors, and treatment resistance are mainly responsible for this growth. The varied clinical presentation and low sensitivity of conventional tes...
Also, zalcitabine or 2′-3′-dideoxycytidine, a pyrimidine analog previously used for treatment of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) had activity against M. marinum but not to M. tuberculosis even at a concentration of 320 µM (Supplementary Fig. 2)....
embryos, a simple process that permits production of a bacteria-free vaccine. However, vaccine from this source proved difficult to produce in a satisfactory thermostable, freeze-dried form, and, as far as is known, only Sweden produced vaccine in eggs that were free ofavian leukosis virus.12...
