Juan Carlos Palomino,Anandi Martin,Mirtha Camacho,Humberto Guerra,Jean Swings,Françoise Portaels +5 more
TL;DR: This method for detecting multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis by using a reduction of resazurin is simple, inexpensive, and rapid and might be used with other antituberculosis drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular basis and mechanisms of drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis: classical and new drugs.
TL;DR: This article presents an updated review of the mechanisms and molecular basis of drug resistance in M. tuberculosis and comments on the several gaps in current knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of drug Resistance to the main classical and new anti-TB drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mycobacteria in drinking water distribution systems: ecology and significance for human health.
TL;DR: Although the presence of EM in tap water has been linked to nosocomial infections and pseudo-infections, it remains unclear if these EM provide a health risk for immunocompromised people, in particular AIDS patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resazurin Microtiter Assay Plate Testing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Susceptibilities to Second-Line Drugs: Rapid, Simple, and Inexpensive Method
TL;DR: The colorimetric resazurin microtiter assay is inexpensive, rapid, and simple to perform, and implementation of the assay is feasible for low-resource countries.
