Employees of the Regional Clinical Tuberculosis Dispensary received a patent for a faster method for determining the genotype of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. reported At the regional Ministry of Health of the Omsk region. Named after employees of the St. Petersburg Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology. Pasteur.
The new method will enable the selection of treatment for tuberculosis patients to be faster and more effective. This is important because the faster and more accurately the diagnosis is made, the faster and individually effective treatment can be selected for each patient.
The first phase of the work on the project was carried out at the Regional Clinical Tuberculosis Dispensary. Bacteriologists selected materials that met certain criteria provided by their colleagues from the research institute.
The main idea of u200bu200bthe project was to study the susceptibility of tuberculosis to multidrug resistance and disseminated drug resistance, examining the genotype of the material to determine patterns in the spread of such strains. All joint studies were carried out with the aim of improving the diagnosis of tuberculosis and identifying various mutations responsible for the emergence of drug resistance.
Formerly a phthisiatrician at Komissarova said In an interview with socialbites.ca about whether Russia can maintain its position, why drug-resistant tuberculosis is dangerous and why you should not self-medicate if you have a prolonged cough with sputum.
