Herein we report the construction of a supramolecular cocrystal {Ti + Ti} through the combination of isolated {Ti} and {Ti} clusters. Moreover, the combined {Ti + Ti} complex presents better solar-driven photocatalytic dye degradation activity than the individual {Ti} and {Ti} compounds.

The number of multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) cases is rising worldwide. As a countermeasure against this situation, the implementation of rapid molecular tests to identify MDR-TB would be effective. To develop such tests, information on the frequency and distribution of mutations associating with phenotypic drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is required in each country.

Objectives: To evaluate the frequency and nature of mutations in genes associated with resistance to rifampicin and isoniazid in Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates collected from Yangon, Myanmar.
Methods: Ninety-six isoniazid-resistant M. tuberculosis isolates, including 29 multidrug-resistant isolates, were analysed for mutations in the rpoB, katG, inhA, oxyR and ahpC genes.

Isolates of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing lineage are associated with high rates of transmission, hypervirulence and drug resistance. The Beijing lineage has been shown to dominate the tuberculosis (TB) epidemic in East Asia; however, the diversity and frequency of M. tuberculosis genotypes from Myanmar are unknown.

A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out at a tuberculosis center, Yangon, Myanmar from October 2003 to July 2004 to analyze the drug susceptibility of new sputum smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients. A total of 202 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates were tested for resistance to isoniazid, streptomycin, rifampicin and ethambutol. Resistance to at least one anti-tuberculosis drug was documented in 32 (15.

The extent of drug resistant tuberculosis (TB) in the capital city of Myanmar, Yangon has not yet been reported. This study aimed to determine the proportion and pattern of drug resistance to first-line anti-TB drugs, among Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates from sputum smear positive TB patients who attended National TB Programme Yangon centres in April-August and October-December 2002. Drug susceptibility was determined by the Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube manual system (Becton Dickinson, MD, USA).
