Evaluation of the MTT and MABA assays for rapid screening of the in vitro activity of synthetic chalcones against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
(2014)
Background: The chalcone scaffold (1,3-diaryl-2-propen-i-ones) has the advantage of easy chemical modification and has been shown to possess biological activity against a variety of organisms, including a wide range of ...
Development of an antigen detection based point-of-care test for the diagnosis of primary syphilis.
(2011)
Aim: To develop an antigen detection based, point-of-care test that will rapidly exclude syphilitic infection in patients presenting with genital ulcers.
Materials and Method: T. pallidum subsp pallidum, Nichols strain, ...
Perceived ethionamide resistance in isoniazid susceptible isolates of mycobacterium tuberculosis.
(2015)
In Mycobacterium tuberculosis, resistance to ethionamide (ETH) is usually combined with
isoniazid (INH) resistance due to a number of mutations in genes that are involved in the
biosynthesis of mycolic acids. ETH resistance ...
Pathogenic effect of Trichomonas vaginalis on various cell lines in vitro.
(2010)
Trichomoniasis has been linked to pelvic inflammatory disease, cervical cancer, increased
HIV transmission, infertility as well as co-infections with other STIs. In 2002, an association
was found with Trichomonas ...
Migration of Treponema pallidum through a keratinocyte layer.
(2010)
Treponema pallidum is the causative agent of the sexually transmitted disease, syphilis. The organism can not be cultured in vitro, which has inhibited the understanding of the pathogenesis of syphilis. There has been no ...
Interaction of HIV and syphilis at the keratinocyte level.
(2014)
Introduction
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease, and once acquired, progresses through a series of
overlapping stages. Data from a series of surveillance studies indicate that the acquisition of
syphilis may be ...
