332 results about "Mycobacterium" patented technology

Mycobacterium is a genus of Actinobacteria, given its own family, the Mycobacteriaceae. Over 190 species are recognized in this genus. This genus includes pathogens known to cause serious diseases in mammals, including tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) and leprosy (Mycobacterium leprae) in humans. The Greek prefix myco- means "fungus," alluding to the way mycobacteria have been observed to grow in a mold-like fashion on the surface of cultures. It is acid fast and cannot be stained by the Gram stain procedure.

Two broad-spectrum efficient mycobacteriophages and application thereof

The invention discloses two mycobacterium bacteriophages and application thereof. The two bacteriophages both have a splitting spectrum width and efficient splitting capability, can specifically realize effective splitting of mycobacteria of five specific sequence types, and are further applied to the field of prevention and control of mycobacteria. Specifically, the bacteriophage MP2435 and the bacteriophage MP2451 not only can effectively inhibit the proliferation process of mycobacteria and block the formation of a biofilm of the mycobacteria, but also can efficiently kill the mycobacteria in a milk matrix; meanwhile, the two bacteriophages can still keep relatively high activity under the conditions that the temperature is 37-65 DEG C and the pH value is 3-12, and the bactericidal activity of the bacteriophages can be stably maintained even in acid-base, high-temperature and ultraviolet-containing extreme environments. Through the characteristics, the application scene and application range of the bacteriophage in mycobacterium prevention and control are remarkably widened, and an efficient and stable novel technical means is provided for biological prevention and control of mycobacterium.
