Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the rhizosphere's diverse microflora to find microorganisms that can boost millet crop growth, specifically in dryland agriculture in northern Karnataka, India.
- - Researchers assessed rhizobacteria from sorghum for their ability to promote seed germination and identified efficient strains that produce plant hormones and nutrients while inhibiting harmful bacteria.
- - Two promising microbial isolates, PG-152 and PG-197, were discovered to significantly enhance sorghum growth indicators and were categorized at the genetic level for potential use in biocontrol and improving plant growth.
Background: 99DOTS is a cell phone-based strategy for monitoring tuberculosis (TB) medication adherence that has been rolled out to more than 150,000 patients in India's public health sector. A considerable proportion of patients stop using 99DOTS during therapy.
Objective: This study aims to understand reasons for variability in the acceptance and use of 99DOTS by TB patients and health care providers (HCPs).
99DOTS is a cellphone-based strategy for monitoring tuberculosis medication adherence. In a sample of 597 Indian patients with tuberculosis, we compared 99DOTS' adherence assessments against results of urine isoniazid tests collected during unannounced home visits. 99DOTS had suboptimal accuracy for measuring adherence, partly due to poor patient engagement with 99DOTS.
