Comparison of Efficacy of Slit Skin Smear and Fite Faraco Stain on Histopathology Specimens in Cases of Leprosy [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2020 Introduction: Hansen’s disease is an infectious granulomatous disorder with Mycobacterium leprae being the causative agent. Mycobacterium Leprae is an acid-fast bacillus which grows slowly inside host cells mainly neural Schwann cell as well as cutaneous

Peptidoglycan and Arabinogalactan of Mycobacterium Leprae [PDF]
Microbiology, 1987 The arabinogalactan and peptidoglycan of armadillo-grown Mycobacterium leprae were examined. Within the limits defined by the small amount of material available, the resemblance of these polymers to those of other mycobacteria was confirmed. The polymers were linked by a highly acid-labile bond and the arabinogalactan was itself acid-labile; free ...

Pyrimidine scavenging by Mycobacterium leprae [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1989 Mycobacterium leprae incorporated exogenously supplied pyrimidines as bases or nucleosides, but not as a nucleotide, into its nucleic acids. Notably, thymine was incorporated approximately 5 times more rapidly than thymidine by both suspensions of, or intracellular M. leprae.

Search for Mycobacterium leprae in wild mammals [PDF]
The Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2010 Leprosy is still a worldwide public health problem. Brazil and India show the highest prevalence rates of the disease. Natural infection of armadillos Dasypus novemcinctus with Mycobacterium leprae has been reported in some regions of the United States. Identification of bacilli is difficult, particularly due to its inability to grow in vitro.

Nontuberculous mycobacterial empyema in an immunocompetent child
Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2018 Nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) species are mycobacterial species other than those belonging to the Mycobacterium Tuberculosis complex and Mycobacterium leprae. There are very few reports of NTM in immunocompetent children causing empyema.

, 2006 Although Mycobacterium leprae was one of the first bacterial pathogens of humans to be described (Hansen, 1874), progress on understanding the basic biology and pathogenicity of this organism has been greatly hampered by the inability to find a conventional laboratory medium or tissue culture system that can support its growth.
