Joshua, I'm glad you are enjoying them. Mycobacterium (both tuberculosis and and non-tuberbulosis, most notable mycobacterium avium complex or MAC) are always considered in a distinct category given their distinct microbiological features, clinical syndromes, and options for treatment. RIPE is a commonly used and appropriate acronym for conventional TB therapy. The WHO uses a much more specific abbreviation system for describing TB therapy, which I haven't actually encountered in practice.
Dr Strong, this lectures are excellent, please post lectures 8 and 9 soon. I am in a zone and can't wait to see those lectures. I am a pharmacist and know most of these things already but i've been looking for a good lecture series on infectious disease basics for the medical residents. You'll be surprise how many residents do not know the classifications of bacteria.
Hi Dr Strong, great lectures. Would you also include Mycobacterium tuberculosis in this atypical category? And if so would you recommend RIPE (rifampin + isoniazid + pyrazinamide + ethambutol) as an appropriate acronym for treatment or do you use a different approach?
I got Clamydia and Mycoplasma, I took first time : bacfrin f 1 week, pain didnt out, doxycline 10 days, nothing, 15 days, ciprofloxacine, ....45 days doxiclina with cipro..and 3 years a Im still have this fuking disiase? what I have to do NOW?

in Zimbabwe we use HRZE (H-Isoniazid, R-Rifampicin, Z-Pyrazinamide & E-Ethambutol). according to WHO Guidelines i trust.

Very good and clear explanation and pretty high information-to-time of the lecture ratio.

Mycoplasma infections in children are commonly treated with azithromycin in Taiwan.
Very good.
