TL;DR: Xpert test showed a high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of TBL on concentrated FNA samples and offered rapid detection of rifampicin-resistant M. tuberculosis strains from lymph node aspirates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drug resistance-conferring mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis from pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Southwest Ethiopia.
Mulualem Tadesse,Dossegnaw Aragaw,Belayneh Dimah,Feyisa Efa,Kedir Abdella,Wakjira Kebede,Ketema Abdissa,Gemeda Abebe +7 more
TL;DR: A high rate of drug resistance was commonly observed among failure cases and the most frequent gene mutations associated with the resistance to INH and RIF were observed in the codon 315 of the katG gene and codon 531 of the rpoB gene, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drug resistance patterns of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and associated factors among retreatment cases around Jimma, Southwest Ethiopia
TL;DR: The overall prevalence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis among re-treatment cases around Jimma was high and the rate of MDR-TB was higher in patients with the history of anti-TB treatment failure, which prompted a call for timely identification and referral of patients with a history of treatment failure for culture and DST.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial Biofilm Destruction: A Focused Review On The Recent Use of Phage-Based Strategies With Other Antibiofilm Agents.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided an overview on the formation of bacterial biofilms and its characteristics, burden and evolution with phages and the most recent possible use of phages, and phage-derived enzymes to combat bacteria in biofilm structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro antifungal susceptibility of Candida albicans isolates from oral cavities of patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus in Ethiopia
TL;DR: Evaluating the in vitro susceptibility of Candida albicans to commonly used antifungal agents in Ethiopia found that the majority of patients infected with this strain are infected with a strain originally present as a commensal of the oral cavity.
