Journal ArticleDOI
High Prevalence of Bedaquiline Resistance in Treatment-Naive Tuberculosis Patients and Verapamil Effectiveness.
Hasan Ghajavand,Mansour Kargarpour Kamakoli,Sharareh Khanipour,Shahin Pourazar Dizaji,Morteza Masoumi,Fatemeh Rahimi Jamnani,Abolfazl Fateh,Seyed Davar Siadat,Farzam Vaziri +8 more
TL;DR: It was concluded that efflux pumps play a pivotal role in intrinsicBDQ resistance; therefore, the potential of verapamil as an adjunctive therapy to combat BDQ resistance should be investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scrutinizing the drug resistance mechanism of multi- and extensively-drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis: mutations versus efflux pumps.
Hasan Ghajavand,Mansour Kargarpour Kamakoli,Sharareh Khanipour,Shahin Pourazar Dizaji,Morteza Masoumi,Fatemeh Rahimi Jamnani,Abolfazl Fateh,Mehdi Yaseri,Seyed Davar Siadat,Farzam Vaziri +9 more
TL;DR: Results clearly showed that efflux systems, besides spontaneous mutations, play a role in the development of INH/RIF resistance and although VP was effective in reducing the expression of some efflux pumps, it was not very successful at the phenotypic level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the impact of polyclonal infection and heteroresistance on treatment of tuberculosis patients.
Mansour Kargarpour Kamakoli,Hamidreza Sadegh,Ghazaleh Farmanfarmaei,Morteza Masoumi,Abolfazl Fateh,Gholamreza Javadi,Fatemeh Rahimi Jamnani,Farzam Vaziri,Seyed Davar Siadat +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that mixed infections, have a negative impact on treatment of TB patients especially when co-infecting M. tuberculosis strains display heteroresistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
HSP65-PRA identification of non-tuberculosis mycobacteria from 4892 samples suspicious for mycobacterial infections.
Mahnaz Saifi,E. Jabbarzadeh,Ahmadreza Bahrmand,A Karimi,S. Pourazar,Abolfazl Fateh,Morteza Masoumi,E Vahidi +7 more
TL;DR: Evaluation of antibiotic resistance and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis (PRA) of the hsp65 gene showed that PRA, in comparison with classical methods, is rapid and accurate enough for the identification of mycobacterial species from LJ medium, and it was found that in Iran the authors have a highly diverse population of NTM isolates among patients suspected of having TB.
Journal ArticleDOI
The anti-inflammatory effects of Akkermansia muciniphila and its derivates in HFD/CCL4-induced murine model of liver injury
Shahrbanoo Keshavarz Azizi Raftar,Fatemeh Ashrafian,Sara Abdollahiyan,Abbas Yadegar,H. Moradi,Morteza Masoumi,Farzam Vaziri,Arfa Moshiri,Seyed Davar Siadat,Mohammad Reza Zali +9 more
TL;DR: In this article , the effects of live and pasteurized A. muciniphila and its extra cellular vesicles (EVs) on inflammatory markers involved in liver fibrosis in a mouse model of a high-fat diet (HFD)/carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver injury was evaluated.
