Abstract

One hundred thirty six strains of Mycobacteria isolated from patients with genitalia tuberculosis were analysed. Out of them 92 (67.7%) strains were classified as those of human origin, 17 (12.5%) as those of bovine origin, and 27 (19.7%) were referred to as opportunistic. The study of cultural properties, virulence and drug sensibility demonstrated that the genitalia tuberculosis agent featured oligobacillary excretion, relationship between their rapid growth and the nature of material under observation, and multiple inoculation. Mainly low and medium virulence is determined. Overwhelming majority of the cultures show responses to the essential antituberculous drugs.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases (ASM)

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Antitubercular Agents

Antitubercular agents are pharmacologic agents for treatment of tuberculosis. Discover the latest research on antitubercular agents here.
