A study was made of the pathogenic properties of the Trudeau Culture Collection strain (T-67) of Mycobacterium sp. 607 for mice. The organism was highly pathogenic for CF1 mice upon intravenous injection. The animals succumbed soon after intravenous injection of a 14 x 10(6) viable cellular units. The T-67 strain proliferated in the kidneys of the animals but was unable to reproduce in the lungs, liver, and spleen. Destruction of the organisms in the latter organs commenced 24 hr after injection. Tissue bacterial counts showed that the mycobacteria were similarly destroyed in the kidneys after an interval of from 7 to 9 days after injection of the organisms. Histopathological examination of the tissues indicated that the lethal effects of the organism were due primarily to kidney damage. The liver, lungs, and spleen were similarly involved but to a lesser degree. The unique characteristics of the T-67 strain of Mycobacterium sp. 607 are discussed.

Fungal endophytes, symbiotic microorganisms residing within plants, are renowned for producing bioactive secondary metabolites with diverse beneficial properties. We investigated the antimicrobial potential of fungal endophytes isolated from , an invasive weed, against clinically significant bacterial pathogens. Selected fungal endophytes (, sp.

As one of the factors affecting the treatment outcomes, drug tolerance in mycobacteriosis has not been paid due attention. Genome-wide association studies on 607 Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates with phenotypic drug susceptibility test data revealed that a K114N mutation on the rv2820c gene was highly enriched in capreomycin-resistant isolates (32/213, 15.02%).

The use of biocidal agents is a common practice for protection against biofouling in biomass-rich environments. In this paper, oligohexamethyleneguanidine (OHMG) polymer, known for its biocidal properties, was further modified with para-aminosalicylic acid (PAS) to enhance its properties against microorganisms coated with a lipid membrane. The structure of the product was confirmed by H NMR, C NMR, and FTIR spectroscopy.
