We have isolated and identified the biotype of environmental mycobacteria from the expectorate of leprosy patients, their
contacts, their drinking water supply and also from the sputa samples of tuberculosis patients. 78% of the isolates from lepromatous
leprosy patients and their contacts wereMycobacterium fortuitum- chelonae complex (MFC), 9%Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), 9%Mycobacterium scrofulaceum and 4% wereMycobacterium smegmatis. Among the isolates from tuberculosis patients 63% belonged toM. fortuitum- chelonae complex, 19% toM. avium complex, 12% toMycobacterium Kansasii and 6% toM. smegmatis. All the isolates were multi-drug resistant when tested for sensitivity total of 21 drugs. TheMycobacterium fortuitum-chelonae complex organisms from leprosy contacts were more sensitive to rifampicin than those isolated from lepromatous leprosy and
tuberculosis patients. Among 23 isolates from leprosy patients one isolate was resistant to 20 drugs, one isolate to 17 drugs
and another isolate was resistant to 13 drugs. Among the 18 isolates from drinking water supply six showed resistance to more
than 12 drugs. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and subsequent hybridisation with specific probes confirmed all the isolated
strains as nontuberculous mycobacteria (Using genus primers and probe sensitivity 100%) and none asM. tuberculosis, suggesting that PCR could be used to rapidly identify mycobacteria at the genus level and to rule out tuberculosis in leprosy
patients at an early stage to decide on appropriate course of therapy. 相似文献

We have developed a simple, economical and reproducible method for processing blood samples from HIV infected patients for
diagnosis of tuberculosis. The procedure was validated on 55 samples selected for tuberculosis based on clinical criteria.
52 patients had radiological changes indicative of pulmonary tuberculosis of which only 28 were positive for AFB in sputum
(sensitivity 54%) and 27 for tuberculin (sensitivity 52%). 26 HIV positive patients who showed positive X-ray did not react
to tuberculin. The genus PCR probe missed 3 samples (sensitivity 94%) compared to X-ray.M.tuberculosis was detected in the blood of all X-ray positive cases by PCR using TB400 probe (sensitivity 100%) and another probe forM. tuberculosis, IS6110, missed 6 of them (sensitivity 88% compared to X-ray and 89% compared to TB400). It is proposed that this simple
sample processing method could be used to screen all blood samples quickly for mycobacteremia using the genus PCR and only
those positive for mycobacteria need to be tested forM.tuberculosis. This would save the scarce resources and time by reducing significantly the number of samples to be screened for species
confirmation. 相似文献

Storage space is a perennial problem not only in macroscopic world but at the molecular level as well. Efficient storage of
certain gases such as hydrogen, methane etc has futuristic technological applications. Therefore, race is on for the discovery
of new materials with largest storage capacity per gram of the material. Metal organic framework (MOF) materials are a class
of light weight hybrid materials with surface areas per gram that could cover an entire foot ball field. This article gives
a glimpse of the recent advances in MOFs. 相似文献
