In vitro effects of the new oral β-lactamase inhibitor xeruborbactam in combination with oral β-lactams against clinical Mycobacterium abscessus isolates

Microbiology Spectrum
Non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM), particularly Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. abscessus (M. abscessus), are increasingly being recognized as etiological agents of NTM pulmonary disease. However, treatment options for M.

Characterization of Mycobacterium chelonae-Like Strains by Comparative Genomics

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Isolates of the Mycobacterium chelonae-M. abscessus complex are subdivided into four clusters (CHI to CHIV) in the INNO-LiPA® Mycobacterium spp DNA strip assay. A considerable phenotypic variability was observed among isolates of the CHII cluster.

Measurement of static light scattering of bio-particles [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Light scattering by small particles is one of the most prevailing and non-invasive technique for examining the properties of particulate systems chiefly of biological origin. The sub-micron particles including the bio-particles were so chosen because of their importance in biology and biomedical sciences. Light scattering investigation from homogenous,

Assessing the accuracy of the updated Fujifilm SILVAMP TB LAM II assay between lot numbers

IJTLD Open
BACKGROUND: The Fujifilm SILVAMP TB LAM (FujiLAM) assay, a point-of-care test detecting urine-based lipoarabinomannans, has demonstrated notable diagnostic accuracy for TB. However, FujiLAM exhibits lot-to-lot variability, limiting its clinical use.
