In low-income countries some infections caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria are misdiagnosed as multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. most of these settings the observation microscopic cords is only technique used to identify Mycobacterium tuberculosis in laboratory. this article we definitively demonstrate that abscessus, an emerging pulmonary pathogen, also forms cords.
Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin is the most effective treatment for high risk noninvasive bladder cancer. Although immunotherapy clearly decreases recurrence and progression rates, side effects are common infection with has been described. For these reasons it necessary to find safer alternatives live bacillus. We explored possibility of using killed but metabolically active Calmette-Guérin.T24, J82 RT4 tumor cell lines were cultured irradiation or heat treated Connaught....
The aim of this study was to determine whether low HLA-I expression and NK cells infiltration are related prognostic features in breast cancer, as observed cancers other locations non-hormone dependent cancers. Particularly, we explored their relation infiltrated axillary lymph nodes (ALNs), with the finding new predictors helping decide extent surgery.
