Journal ArticleDOI
Polymerase chain reaction for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
TL;DR: A polymerase chain reaction for the specific detection of mycobacteria belonging to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex was developed and preliminary data suggested that this technique could be applied to clinical specimens for early and specific diagnosis of tuberculosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide for rapid detection of rifampin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis
TL;DR: The MTT assay could, in combination with a test to detect resistance to isoniazid, be a cheap and rapid screening method for multidrug-resistant M. tuberculosisthat is affordable even by low-income countries where tuberculosis is a major public health problem.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A new fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) method using peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes for differentiation between species of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in acid-fast bacillus-positive (AFB+) cultures is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of polymerase chain reaction, tuberculostearic acid analysis, and direct microscopy for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum
TL;DR: This study indicates that PCR can be adapted for clinical use and is the method of choice for rapid diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
High isolation rate of Branhamella catarrhalis from the nasopharynx in adults with acute laryngitis
TL;DR: The results indicate that B. catarrhalis, known to cause acute otitis media in small children and respiratory tract infections in adult compromised hosts, may be involved in the etiology of acute laryngitis in otherwise healthy adults.
