Multidrug Resistant Of Human Mycobacterium

It is an assumption that when tissue is fixed in formalin, the danger for transmission and subsequent infection of Mycobacteria is greatly reduced, if not altogether eliminated. Cadavers remain a practical teaching tool for Anatomists and Medical educators teaching macroscopic anatomy. Infectious pathogens in cadavers that present particular risks include tubercle bacillus , hepatitis B and C, the AIDS virus HIV, and Prions that cause transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. Recent studies have however, suggested that formalin doesn't effectively inactivate tubercle bacillus in formalin-fixed tissue. during this study we tried to check the inactivation ability of (a) 10% formalin fixation and (b) treatment of tissue with 75% ethanol, 2 hours before 10% formalin fixation. Multiple Drug Resistant (MDR) and Multiple Drugs Susceptible (MDS) strains of tubercle bacillus were employed.
